About the topic:
This seminar – following Trade War: The Temperature Escalates by Prof. Langdana – will add aspects such as Dr. Contractor’s estimates for the number of jobs in each nation devoted to the other’s commerce; or a question that recently kept Mr. Trump awake at night – the weakening of the renminbi yuan (RMB) that may neutralize US tariffs; or the competitiveness of US manufacturing.
