New Podcast Episode: The Phase One Trade Deal

It’s The AAF Exchange — your source for clear, data-driven insight into today’s economic and domestic policy issues.

Our latest episode features AAF’s Director of Trade and Immigration Policy Jacqueline Varas discussing the details and likely impacts of the Phase One trade deal with China. The trade agreement aims to reform unfair Chinese trade practices such as forced technology transfer and intellectual property theft, yet the agreement’s unconventional dispute mechanisms potentially limit its effectiveness, Varas argues.

Read Varas’ recent insight that provides a section-by-section analysis of the Phase One deal.

Future episodes will address other timely policy questions, including:

  • Is the Trump Administration’s deregulatory push as successful as it claims?
  • What are the fiscal and economic implications of the presidential candidates’ key policy proposals?
  • What is the current state of trade policy, and what are the areas to watch in 2020?

Whether you’re on your lunch break or commuting home, The AAF Exchange will keep you up to speed on today’s most pressing policy issues.
