US-China Trade War
The US and China are locked in a bitter trade battle. Over the past year, both countries have imposed tariffs on billions of dollars worth of one another’s goods. But the dispute goes far beyond trade tariffs and tit-for-tat reprisals: the underlying driver is the race for global technological supremacy. With a trade deal appearing more elusive there is growing uncertainty on whether the world’s two largest economies can end a trade war that is hurting businesses and depressing global growth. But what could seal a deal to end the US-China trade war? This session examined the impact of the trade war on business and the global economy and discuss how realistic is a decoupling of the US and China.
This session was our first Future Forum Think Tank event, and gave member organisations the opportunity to share their latest thinking on the US-China trade war.
