One year of “America First” trade policy: What did we learn, and what comes next?

On the first day of his second term, President Trump issued a memorandum outlining the administration’s “America First” trade policy priorities. One year later, the administration’s trade actions have significantly altered America’s economic and strategic posture—sometimes in ways that aligned with analysts’ predictions and sometimes not.

On Wednesday, January 28 the Brookings Economic Studies program hosted a panel including Rhodium Group’s Dan Rosen to assess what we have learned in the year since the memorandum was released.
