How have US tariffs affected global supply chains? Are trading patterns between countries really changing? What can we learn from the fine print of trade agreements? Are the US and China really decoupling?

PIIE Anthony M. Solomon Senior Fellow Mary E. Lovely dives into these questions and more with host Anjali V. Bhatt in this episode, exploring Lovely's recent research on global supply chains and US "reciprocal" trade agreements. They discuss lessons from past rounds of US tariffs, how global supply chains are reorganizing (or not), and more.
