Webinar on May 17, 2019

Starts: 12:00 PM (EDT)
Ends: 12:30 PM (EDT)

Join the Crowell & Moring trade team for a 30-minute update on the U.S.-China trade negotiations, the imposition of tariffs, and the continued escalation of tensions from the White House.  Hear the latest on President Trump’s potential next steps, the status of the product exclusion process for Lists 1, 2, and 3, and how to respond to the recent announcement of List 4, covering virtually all the remaining U.S. imports from China.

Professionals from our legal, policy and political team will discuss potential strategies for companies affected by the Trump tariffs and how to respond – at the White House and before the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative, in the halls of Congress, and in China.  This will be a brief, to-the-point webinar, to be followed by additional analysis and engagement strategies as the Trump tariff war with China continues over the coming weeks and months.
