Trump's levies have kicked in today: including an astonishing 102 per cent tariff on China – after it missed the deadline to withdraw its retaliatory tariffs – and 20 per cent on the European Union. The combination of these explosive tariffs has sent markets sliding once again. This follows a slight recovery in the markets yesterday after suggestions by some in the Trump administration that they may be willing to negotiate the tariffs down. In the UK, the economic uncertainty has ‘turbocharged' plans which have been whispered around Westminster for some time, including nationalising the British steel industry. Attention has also turned towards a trade deal with the US, and the complexion that might take in a post-tariff landscape and in the context of the EU reset. There is hope in government that a deal could be done in the next month. Are the tariffs forcing the government into action? How does Starmer keep both the EU and the US on side? Oscar Edmondson speaks to Katy Balls and Shanker Singham, CEO of Competere and a former trade adviser to the UK government. Produced by Oscar Edmondson.

On this episode of the podcast, international trade expert Shanker Singham who served as a former advisor to both the United Kingdom (UK) and United States (US) Trade Representatives, breaks down the real impact of President Donald Trump's tariffs. Singham identifies three categories of tariffs: non-trade related, general revenue, and those targeting unfair trade practicies. But he doesn't stop there, Singham explains why non-tariff barriers, such as regulatory distortions and state-owned enterprises may pose an even greater challenge to global markets.Singham goes on to critique past trade policy for fixating on tariffs while overlooking these deeper structural issues. He makes the case that President Trump's tariff strategy is designed to reduce global distortions and ultimately benefit, not just the US, but its trading partners across the world as well.You can learn more about Singham by visiting his websit: ShankerSingham.comor by following him on X: @ShankerASingham.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

With around 500 different special economic zones (SEZs) in Latin America and the Caribbean, these zones act as accelerators for trade and investment. While many focus on tax rates, tariffs, and regulatory environments to incentivize business development, some models go well beyond to create entirely new institutions within their borders.   In this episode, Ryan C. Berg sits down with Shanker Singham, CEO of the Competere Group, to talk about the role special economic zones play in Central America. Together, they delve into the nuances of different SEZ models, in particular the Zones for Employment and Economic Development (ZEDEs in Spanish) in Honduras. The subject of intense debate within Honduras, Shanker provides insights into the challenges and opportunities the ZEDEs present and how the United States should approach these zones.

Had Covid-19 not continued to dominate the headlines this year, there's little doubt that the outcomes of the Brexit deal would have been at the forefront of our policy discussions. Britain has left the EU with a bespoke trade agreement, but it's far from perfect, as the Northern Ireland Protocol continues to cause problems, especially for trade flow between Great Britain and Northern Ireland. What have digital solutions done so far to get closer to our goal of seamless trade? Has it been enough? What problems are still left to solve and do the realities of Brexit simply mean that we can now never fully escape these new regulatory burdens? To discuss, Kate Andrews is joined by Frank Dunsmuir, Head of Customs and International Trade Practice at Fujitsu; Stephen Kelly, Chief Executive of Manufacturing NI; and Shanker Singham, Chief Executive of Competere and an advisor to Fujitsu. This podcast is sponsored by Fujitsu.

This weekend marked 100 days since the end of the Brexit transition period. Leaving the European Union has been a massive change for food and farming businesses. From subsidy to trade, from rules on genetic editing to rules on exports, it's all change and so far it hasn’t all been straightforward. We start the week with a man described as the ‘Brains of Brexit’, former member of the British Government’s Trade and Agriculture Commission, Shanker Singham. Rural pubs have had a tough few years - and lockdown will have tipped some into closing for good. But today, in England at least, those that survived get a chance to revive as pubs welcome people back. A Gloucester landfill site was one of the country's biggest waste tips until it closed two years ago, now it's set for a brand new, greener, future. Presented by Charlotte Smith and produced by Beatrice Fenton.

With radical change on the horizon this week on Over The Farm Gate we're talking FUTURE.Farm shops, commercial units, rural housing, and a myriad of other farm diversifications and community needs, all rely on getting through the planning system. But it can be hard work, complicated, frustrating, expensive and not always successful. Will Prime Minister Boris Johnson's promised a ‘radical reform' for England's planning system deliver the change needed to allow rural communities to thrive?Jez Fredenburgh speaks to Laura Dudley-Smith, a planning consultant at Strutt and Parker, to find out what's in it for farmers.Jez also speaks to Hertfordshire farmer William Ashley, who does battle with the planning system more often than most, and has even been helping other farmers navigate it. She asks William about his experience of the current system, what he would change, and his top tips for other farmers. Trade and Agriculture Commission member Shanker Singham, known in political circles as the brains of Brexit for his close ties with Eurosceptics, speaks about the commission's role in protecting British farmers in new trade deals. He tells our chief reporter Abi Kay why there needs to be ‘more light and less heat' on issues like animal welfare, why the notion of being on a level playing field with European colleagues is fanciful, and why he's so confident the UK will secure a deal with the EU.Links:planning system - https://www.gov.uk/government/news/launch-of-planning-for-the-future-consultation-to-reform-the-planning-systemLaura Dudley-Smith - https://www.struttandparker.com/people/laura-dudley-smithWilliam Ashley - http://monksgreenfarm.net/Trade and Agriculture Commission - https://www.gov.uk/government/news/trade-and-agriculture-commission-membership-announcedShanker Singham - https://twitter.com/shankerasingham?lang=en See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

(Betalt innhold): Blir post-brexit Storbritannia et sosialdemokratisk paradis, eller bare et skatteparadis? I denne episoden av Tax Justice Norge sin podcast møter du to Brexiteers, altså de som ønsker at Storbritannia skal forlate EU, men de to har helt forskjellige visjoner for hvordan landet skal se ut etterpå. Shanker Singham er blitt kalt “The brain behind Brexit”, og sies å ha stor innflytelse på Brexit-tilhengerne i Det konservative partiet. Han kjemper nå for at et Brexit skal bety at Storbritannia skal bli et slags fyrtårn for frihandel og mindre regulering og skatter. For Grace Blakeley er et slikt Storbritannia mer et mareritt. Hun kjemper for "Lexit", et Left Exit fra EU, et Brexit som tar avstand fra det hun mener er en exit-kampanje drevet av fremmedfrykt, men der Brexit kan bli en restart for mer sosialisme og mer grønn politikk. I tillegg forklarer forsker Øyvind Bratberg den særegne britiske mentaliteten, som kanskje kan hjelpe oss å forstå hvorfor britene gjorde som de gjorde.
