Olson delivered a 40-minute presentation focusing on multiple aspects of trade policy under US President Trump. The presentation included an explanation of the power Trump has to execute his trade agenda, an overview of the key members of Trump’s trade team and a series of likely potential trade scenarios that may arise during Trump’s presidency.
