ALI hosted Congressman Earl Blumenauer together with other experts for a robust conversation on the Impact of the Election on Trade. He discussed how the perception and politics have changed over his 30 years in Congress, and the current consensus that the U.S. needs a new trade paradigm. The group discussed challenges and opportunities that a new Administration may present, and what avenues could be pursued to advance trade, including supply chain agreements, using trade to address climate, as well as a new toolkit to advance U.S. engagement in the Global S

Participants praised Congressman Blumenauer for his many years of trade policy leadership in Congress, acknowledging that he will be leaving Congress, but not the trade debate, at this end of this term.
