America First: Will the Trump Administration's Policies Help Your Global Business?
Super Session
President Trump has announced varying policies on trade, “Buy American, Hire American”, border taxes and corporate tax rates designed to improve the competitiveness of American industry. On trade policy, President Trump withdrew the U.S. from the TransPacific Partnership (TPP), while proposing bilateral free trade agreements with some of participating TPP countries, and was on the verge of withdrawing from the North American Free Trade Agreement but decided to renegotiate. On taxes, the border adjustment tax appeared to be in play earlier this year, but lowering the corporate rate seems to be the President’s focus. The President also seems intent on expanding use of “Buy American” and reducing the use of the H1-B visa program. The experts on this panel will discuss whether the President’s stated policies will accomplish his goal in putting “America First” or have the opposite impact.
