Episode Description
Join co-hosts Mitchel Winick, Stephen Wagner, and regular guest co-host Michael Cohen for an edition of "International Crossroads." The group will discuss the recent release of the Trump administration's 2017 US Trade Policy Agenda. The policy opens by saying, "The American people grew frustrated with our prior trade policy not because they have ceased to believe in free trade and open markets, but because they did not all see clear benefits from international trade agreements. Every action we take with respect to trade will be designed to increase our economic growth, promote job creation in the US, promote reciprocity with our trading partners, strengthen our manufacturing base and our ability to defend ourselves, and expand our agricultural and services industry exports." Michael Cohen, an experienced international attorney with clients located across the globe, will discuss the international business community's reaction to these and other Trump administration trade policies.
