[Webinar] Navigating the Tariff Landscape – Implications of U.S. Trade Strategy for UK and EU Business

Join this webinar to explore the return of U.S. tariffs and the rising risk of retaliation from Canada, Mexico, the EU, and possibly the UK.

In January, we hosted a timely and well-attended webinar — “What to Expect from a Second Trump Presidency” — exploring the strategic and economic ripple effects of Donald Trump’s return to the White House. This follow-up session takes a closer look at one of the most pressing developments since: the resurgence of U.S. tariffs and the growing likelihood of reciprocal action from Canada, Mexico, the EU, and potentially the UK.

For members and non-members operating across borders, this raises urgent questions about supply chains, market access, and the evolving trade dynamics shaping 2025.

We are delighted to welcome L. Alan Winters CB — Professor Emeritus of Economics at the University of Sussex and Founding Director of the UK Trade Policy Observatory — who will offer an impartial and expert overview and answer your question on:

• The current state of U.S. tariff actions and the logic behind them;
• The likely implications for UK-EU-U.S. trade relations;
• What businesses should watch for in the months ahead.
   

The agenda:

• 25-minute presentation from L. Alan Winters CB setting out the current context, risks, and possible scenarios
• 10-minute live poll asking members how they are responding to the tariff environment
• 20-minute Q&A with L. Alan Winters CB
