Tariffs and Turmoil: The New Frontlines of Global Trade

Thursday, May 8, 4:00–5:00 p.m. Pacific Time

President Trump has launched an economic war. His primary weapon is the most fundamental trade tool: tariffs.

It has created great confusion and intense volatility in global trade markets, financial markets, and the political system as a whole. Professor Robert Rogowsky will help you understand the situation and what might be lying ahead. Everyone who signs up will receive a recording.
