International Trade
Details
In 2025, international trade goes far beyond shipping containers and cargo ships. It includes the flow of digital services, tourism, culture, and ideas. From smartphones assembled overseas to social media algorithms hosted abroad, trade impacts nearly every part of American life.
This discussion will explore imports, exports, tariffs, tourism, and supply chains from the perspective of U.S. interests. We’ll also examine the historical forces shaping globalization and globalism over the past century—from colonial trade routes and the industrial revolution to the post–World War II economic order.
We’ll look at how Donald Trump’s tariffs and trade policies changed America’s approach to China, the European Union, and other trading partners, comparing these strategies to those of previous presidents. The conversation will also cover the rise of digital trade, the impact of “buy American” policies, and whether efforts to create digital or physical borders help or hurt the nation.
Join us for a timely, wide-ranging conversation about how the United States fits into the global marketplace—and how history, policy, and politics continue to shape that relationship today.
