Trade Deals that Challenge US Exporters

Many bilateral and multilateral trade agreements are being negotiated around the world, and they do not include the US. How would you compete in the Brazilian market if the country negotiates a trade deal with Europe, allowing EU producers preferential tariff treatment? China is actively investing in South America and Africa. How can US companies monitor these agreements and manage to stay competitive in critical markets?

Join your MWTA peers to discuss these topics and hear from Dr. Avik Chakrabarti, Associate Professor of Economics at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. (See Bio)

For a corporate perspective on staying competitive in world markets, Tim Hoelter, Vice President of Government Affairs for Harley-Davidson, (See Bio) will be available to answer your questions on the topic, in addition to the main speaker.
