The trade war between the world's two biggest economies China and the USA, could be easing. European Centre for International Political Economy's David Henig spoke to Ingrid Hipkiss.
Donald Trump's revealed plans to put 25% tariffs on neighbours Mexico and Canada and 10% on Chinese imports, leaving major western nations reeling. How does this affect the international community, and do the sanctions go so far as to damage global security? British former international trade negotiator David Henig analyses the threats.The World in 10 is The Times' daily podcast dedicated to global security.

Alex talks to special guest trade epxert David Henig about Trump's threatened tariff war - how likely is it, what would it mean for the world economy, and in which direction the UK should move to be best protected. ***SPONSOR US AT KO-FI.COM/QUIETRIOTPOD*** “Most trade is not in finished products, but in components. This is really important in thinking about the effect of possible tariffs. At least 50% of US imports are things that will in turn form part of a finished American product or help to make it.” “Trump's plan for tariffs is good news if you're a lobbyist working in DC, because everyone is going to be seeking exemptions for their inputs or tariffs on their rivals. This will become quite a bonanza in that way.” “Look at the figures. 50% of our trade, broadly, is with the EU. The UK cannot afford to ignore that. But then again 15-20% of our trade is with the US. Again, we cannot ignore that. So, we have to duck and weave, but we have to do so within a very straightforward principle: Geography matters. That makes Europe more important than the US.” “The UK needs a little bit of honesty, to say: If you put up barriers with your neighbours, you will suffer a little economically. Similarly, that we're not going to have an all-singing-all-dancing trade deal with the US. Also, that the actions we are taking at the moment to improve the deal with the EU will not transform the UK economy. Then we can have an honest discussion.” “Global Britain has failed. If the project of the last few Conservative administrations was to replace trade lost from the EU with trade around the world, that hasn't happened. In fact trade is down both with the EU and with the rest of the world.” Click here for your Quiet Riot Bluesky Starter Pack. Email us at quietriotpod@gmail.com.

The 2024 edition of the AIG Global Trade Series explores the theme of ‘Back to the Future: A New Era of Managed Trade?' Four years on from Britain's departure from the EU, politicians on both sides of the Channel continue to grapple with its consequences. In recent months, the election of the Labour government in the UK and the reelection of Ursula Von der Leyen as President of the European Commission have opened a new more constructive chapter in the complex process of negotiation over the UK's relationship with its neighbours. For the UK, mitigating Brexit's negative effects on trade and business remains a central goal in the reset of relations. For the Commission, trade issues are increasingly wrapped up in a broad concern, vividly captured in the recent Draghi report, about the EU's competitiveness and its long-term economic growth. What are the political and economic parameters within which the UK and EU are working on a reset? Where are the red lines and where the areas of Win-Win? And can a new deal help address the growth challenge on both sides of the Channel? Panellists: Georgina Wright, Senior Fellow and Deputy Director for International Studies, Institut Montaigne Dr Nicolai von Ondarza, Head of Research Division, EU/Europe, German Institute for International and Security Affairs (Stiftung Wissenschaft und Politik, SWP) David Henig, Director, UK Trade Policy Project, European Centre for International Political Economy (ECIPE) Moderator: Rem Korteweg, Senior Research Fellow, Clingendael Institute This podcast episode was recorded on 26 September 2024.

Keir Starmer is pushing for a reset of relations with the European Union, but has ruled out rejoining in his lifetime. So how close can or should the UK get? How welcome is Britain in Brussels after all the Brexit grief? And does the changing tone of public opinion here mean he can easily get past the toxicity of Brexit for both the Labour Party and the country? David Henig, Director of the UK Trade Project at the European Centre For International Political Economy, tells Phil and Roger how the path back to the EU might begin. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
According to David Henig, after the turmoil of Brexit culminating in the short period of Liz Truss as Prime Minister, UK politics appears to have stabilised to a degree under Rishi Sunak, with the Windsor Framework and likely accession to the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP) being clear successes. Underlying issues around the Brexit settlement are however far from settled, poor economic performance being the backdrop for continued arguments over EU-UK relations that easily come to the surface, such as recently with Boris Johnson's resignation statement as an MP. Viewing a General Election as being likely during 2024, David Henig assesses what the current Conservative Government is likely to be able to achieve, and the priorities of a potential future Labour Government. About the Speaker: David Henig is Director of the UK Trade Policy Project at the think-tank, European Centre for International Political Economy (ECIPE), writing extensively on the trade implications of Brexit and what comes next for UK trade policy. For ECIPE, he has also written a series of short papers on globalisation and modern trade, and writes about broader trade issues in a weekly column for specialist trade news service Borderlex. David serves as Expert Adviser to the UK Trade and Business Commission and House of Lords International Agreements Committee. Prior to joining ECIPE in March 2018, he worked for the UK Government including on Transatlantic Trade Investment Partnership (TTIP) talks between the US and the EU, in establishing the Department for International Trade after the referendum, and on issues around inward investments from China.
‘We will now open a new chapter in our national story, striking free trade deals around the world' said Boris Johnson in December 2020 after the UK struck a deal with the European Union for relations after Brexit. The government say these new deals will help level up the UK, cut red tape, provide better investment opportunities and open new digital markets. But, nearly three years after leaving the EU, what deals have we negotiated, are they providing the benefits we were promised and what challenges lie ahead?Joining David Aaronovitch in The Briefing Room are: Dharshini David, BBC Global Trade correspondent Sam Lowe, partner at Flint Global, a business advisory service where he runs the trade and market access practice David Henig, Director of the UK Trade Policy Project Peter Foster, Public Policy Editor of the Financial TimesProducers: Ben Carter, Kirsteen Knight and Daniel Gordon Editor: Simon Watts Studio manager: Rod Farquhar Production co-ordinators: Siobhan Reed & Helena Warwick-Cross
In this week's 'News Roundtable' episode, host Chris Wright joins the founder and CEO of EveryDoctorUK, Dr. Julia Patterson, director of the European Centre for International Political Economy and co-founder of the UK Trade Forum, David Henig, and economist and political Scientist at King's College London and co-host of the 'Politics JaM' podcast, Jeevun Sandher.The episode begins with the panel sharing their views on the Conservative leadership race and questioning if it is all over. They discuss Liz Truss' favourability over Rishi Sunak - is this because of her loyalty to Boris Johnson? The conversation moves on to the chaos seen at the Dover port this week and whether this is Brexit's fault. They question why Liz Truss and Rishi Sunak denied this during the leadership debate and agree that the candidates should be advertising solutions for the problems caused by Brexit. Together, the panel discusses the NHS crisis and looks back on the recent health secretaries analysing the steps they've taken to help NHS staff. They debate whether the problem lies with the NHS being understaffed and underfunded or if the government is moving towards privatisation.All this and much more debated on this week's Wright on the Nail!Created & produced by Podcast Partners: www.podcastpartners.comSign up to receive updates by email when a new episode drops at www.wrightonthenail.FM
In this week's ‘News Roundtable' episode, host Chris Wright joins David Henig, UK Director at ECIPE, who leads thinking on future UK trade policy; Christina Patterson, journalist, writer, and broadcaster; and Neil Mackay, author, filmmaker, and broadcaster.The episode begins by discussing the release of Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe, a charity worker who was arrested and detained in Tehran in 2016. They delve into the abuse she faced online, and why critics branded her “ungrateful” for the frustration she expressed with the UK government for taking six years to secure her release.The conversation moves on to chew over the prime minister's speech at the Conservatives' Spring Conference, which compared the resistance of the Ukrainian people to Russia's invasion to the UK's decision to leave the EU. Staying on the topic of Boris Johnson, the guests debate a new whistleblower's claims that he gave orders to evacuate Pen Farthing's animals from Afghanistan. Boris Johnson, a liar? Together they also discuss the latest updates from Ukraine and react to the Spring Statement 2022 - cuts to fuel duty, National Insurance hikes softened, and an income tax rabbit in the hat.

Questions over efficacy, blood-clot fears, threats to block exports, and its sluggish supply – the distribution of vaccines has been causing a major division across Europe, particularly between the EU and the UK. This week on the Agenda Podcast we look at how the two blocs have approached the distribution of COVID-19 vaccines and how today's disputes could affect the vaccine procurement of tomorrow and beyond.With France and Germany both having witnessed vaccine hesitation within their populations, we ask Pieter Cleppe, editor-in-chief of Brussels Report, about why that might be – as well as whether Brexit is to blame for a seemingly cold reception towards the UK's AstraZeneca jab [02:34]. We also speak to Lawrence Young, virologist and specialist in molecular oncology at the University of Warwick. He explains how damaging vaccine nationalism can be to fighting COVID-19 [10:24]. Finally we also speak to David Henig, director of the UK Trade Policy Project. He explains what he thinks the EU must do to emerge from the vaccine setback with strength and stability going forward [12.42].
Where does Brexit leave the UK-US Trade Deal? Moderator: Rem Korteweg, Senior Research Fellow, Clingendael Institute Panellists: Marjorie Chorlins, Senior Vice President for European Affairs, U.S. Chamber of Commerce David Henig, Director of the UK Trade Policy Project, European Centre for International Political Economy This podcast episode was recorded on June 25 2020. The AIG Global Trade Series 2020 examines the ongoing transformation of the world's multilateral trading system. We enter the second half of the year with the UK facing the very real prospect of exiting the European Union without a trade deal. As the talks with Brussels approach a conclusion which will have long-term consequences for the British economy, the UK government is looking to secure growth by enhancing its trade relations with the United States. In Washington meanwhile, future trade with both the UK and the EU is being seen through the prism of geopolitical self-interest and a Presidential election campaign. In this podcast, moderator Rem Korteweg of the Clingendael Institute is joined by Marjorie Chorlins, Senior Vice President for European Affairs at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and the Executive Director of the U.S.-UK Business Council, and by David Henig, Director of the UK Trade Policy Project, European Centre for International Political Economy. Listen as they discuss the future of an independent UK trade policy in an era of Covid-19 and US-China confrontation. What does the UK hope to achieve by negotiating simultaneously with its two largest trading partners—the United States and the European Union? How is this viewed from the United States, which must evaluate the benefits of having the UK outside of the EU as a potential free trading partner? Is there really enough time left in 2020 to create a series of workable trade deals out of the vast amount of details yet to be settled? Or will the UK's political need to craft a deal of any kind override any obstacles in its way? __________ The views and opinions expressed in this podcast series are those of the speakers and do not necessarily reflect the official policy or position of American International Group, Inc. or its subsidiaries or affiliates (“AIG”).

Tom Hayes discusses how Brexit is going so far with UK trade policy expert David Henig.
This podcast recorded before the invasion of the Capitol building in Washington DC. “Happy” New Year! With Britain’s kids getting one whole day of virus-spreading schooling, is a third lockdown any use in the absence of a coherent COVID policy? And how are we coping with yet more home schooling and working from home without even a takeaway pint to assuage the misery? Plus trade expert David Henig joins us to point out the hidden traps in Johnson’s make-do trade deal and explain what the UK needs to do to get EU trade back to a passable standard. “The deal we have does nothing like what’s needed for a modern trading relationship.” – David Henig“On Brexit, Starmer is becoming less distinguishable from Johnson. He needs to remember that most people no longer support the Brexit vote.” – Naomi Smith“Other than spite, I have no idea why we didn’t choose to participate Erasmus.” – David Henig“Keeping schools open was the only thing the Government could cling to as a success. No wonder they clung to it like wreckage.” – Ros Taylor“We’re already getting companies saying, With all these data barriers is it really worth us being based in the UK?” – David Henig“It’s pretty clear that Johnson agrees with the last person he spoke to… and that Dominic Cummings’ influence was perhaps not as malign as we thought.” – Ros Taylor“There’s a Greek saying: If you’ve eaten a whole donkey, don’t forget to eat the tail.” – Alex AndreouPresented by Dorian Lynskey with Alex Ros Taylor, Andreou and Naomi Smith.

As a Brexit deal comes into view at the very last minute, who has finally blinked? And how will it change the U.K. trading environment in 2021? It's a compromise on both sides, David Henig, Director of the U.K. Trade Policy Project at ECIPE - the European Centre for International Political Economy - tells Bloomberg Westminster's Roger Hearing, with the big questions on financial services equivalence still to be clarified. And is corruption the driving force in much of the world's politics? Tom Burgis, investigations correspondent at the Financial Times, joins to talk about his book "Kleptopia: How Dirty Money Is Conquering The World".
The violent disintegration of Yugoslavia and the cultural and economic dispossession caused by the collapse of socialism continue to force Muslims in Bosnia and Herzegovina to reconfigure their religious lives and societal values. David Henig draws on a decade of fieldwork to examine the historical, social, and emotional labor undertaken by people to live in an unfinished past--and how doing so shapes the present. In particular, Henig questions how contemporary religious imagination, experience, and practice infuse and interact with social forms like family and neighborhood and with the legacies of past ruptures and critical events. His observations and analysis go to the heart of how societal and historical entanglements shape, fracture, and reconfigure religious convictions and conduct. Provocative and laden with eyewitness detail, Remaking Muslim Lives: Everyday Islam in Postwar Bosnia and Herzegovina (U Illinois Press, 2020) offers a rare sustained look at what it means to be Muslim and live a Muslim life in contemporary Bosnia and Herzegovina.
