Podcasts about trade agreements

Critical minerals are required for the manufacturing of electronics, aerospace equipment, medical devices, and renewable energy technologies, making them essential for a country's economic and national security. These materials have been at the center of China's domestic and foreign policy for many decades, and China's ability to integrate internal industrial policies with foreign trade and investment policies has allowed them to gain dominance in the market. Meanwhile, the US has lagged behind China in terms of both access to and processing technology of critical minerals. The country has been heavily dependent on China for its critical minerals and struggles to find an alternative supplier.China's announcement to impose export restrictions on seven rare earth elements on April 4th has opened many conversations surrounding critical minerals, especially regarding the US and its supply chain vulnerabilities. What has China done to achieve their global dominance in the critical minerals sector, and what can the US do to address the overdependence issue they are facing today? To answer these questions and more, host Bonnie Glaser is joined by Gracelin Baskaran, the director of the Critical Minerals Security Program at the Center for Strategic and International Studies. She is a mining economist whose area of expertise is critical minerals and trade. Timestamps[00:00] Start[02:13] US Dependencies on Rare Earths and Critical Minerals[03:51] Sourcing from Latin America, Africa, and Asia[06:28] Environmental Harm from Mining and Processing[08:11] Deliberate Suppression of the Price of Rare Earths in the Market[11:06] Chinese Exports Restrictions on Seven Rare Earth Elements[14:08] US Administrations' Approaches to Critical Minerals Vulnerability[20:02] 2010 Fishing Boat Accident and Japan's Response [24:00] What might China do moving forward? [27:42] Timeframe for the US to Catch Up to China

In this episode of The P.A.S. Report, Professor Nick Giordano exposes the bipartisan failures that have left America weakened through failed trade agreements and an infrastructure in shambles despite trillions spent. From FAA radar blackouts and floppy disk-era technology to lopsided trade deals and slush funds, it's clear the political class is more interested in serving special interests than fixing what's broken. As politicians transferred billions of dollars overseas to build 21st-century airports, roads, and walls to protect foreign nations, our own skies remain unsafe and they have allowed our border to remain wide open. This episode breaks it all down with sharp analysis, real numbers, and unapologetic truth. Episode Highlights: Trump – Starmer trade agreement signals a shift toward rebalancing decades of failed global economic policies. The shocking state of FAA infrastructure: radar outages, copper wires, and eBay-sourced parts. Remember, former President Biden's $1.2 trillion infrastructure bill? Where the money really went, and why most of it had nothing to do with infrastructure.

Farmers have welcomed a new UK trade deal with India, with tariff reductions for whisky, salmon and lamb. And the UK Prime Minister and the US President announced a trade arrangement between the two countries, with UK tariffs removed on imports of American ethanol, and a reciprocal agreement on beef. But the UK ban on American chlorine washed chicken and hormone treated beef continues.To mark the 80th anniversary of VE Day, we hear from one of the 'land girls', who ploughed crops, milked cows and drove tractors on British farms during WII.And as part of our week digging into spuds, we hear how Scottish seed potato growers are trying to resume trade with the EU.Presented by Caz Graham and produced by Beatrice Fenton.

Joining Pam for this week's episode is Stanford Law Professor Alan Sykes, a leading expert on the application of economics to legal problems whose most recent scholarship is focused on international economic relations. In short, he is an international trade and law expert—and the right person to help us understand today's chaos. The discussion covers the credibility of the United States in international trade negotiations, the feasibility of renegotiating trade deals with multiple countries within a short timeframe, and the unconventional methods employed by the Trump administration. Sykes also highlights the importance of previously negotiated deals and the World Trade Organization—and how the Trump administration has sidelined the organization. This episode offers a comprehensive look at the legal and economic dimensions of Trump's tariffs, making it a must-listen for anyone interested in understanding the complexities of modern trade policies.Links:Alan O.

In this power-packed episode of The Food Professor Podcast, hosts Michael LeBlanc and Dr. Sylvain Charlebois bring listeners up to speed on one of the most complex and fast-moving stories in the global food and agriculture sector: the unfolding international tariff war. Appropriately titled “The Global Tariff War Edition,” this episode features a timely and incisive interview with Mark Warner, Managing Director at MAAW Law and one of North America's leading experts on trade, investment, and competition law.The conversation kicks off with Michael and Sylvain diving into the latest developments in U.S.–China trade tensions, which have seen tariffs skyrocket to 125% on inbound U.S. goods into China. They explore the ripple effects on key commodities like soybeans and canola, discuss the surprising resilience of commodity markets, and examine why Canada isn't positioned to step in as a major alternative supplier.The hosts also explore cultural signals from the food world, including the increasing trend of Americans packing lunches and the declining use of doggy bags in restaurants—signs Sylvain suggests may point to growing economic insecurity and workplace anxiety.In the second half of the show, Michael and Sylvain sit down with Mark Warner, who brings deep legal and historical context to the tariff debate. Warner unpacks how the Trump administration is using the rarely-invoked International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) to sidestep traditional trade channels. He outlines the risks and potential rewards for Canadian agri-food exporters navigating this new landscape, and why subtle diplomacy—not headline-grabbing bravado—may serve Canada better in the long run. From trade agreements and geopolitical strategy to supply management and softwood lumber, Warner's nuanced take is essential listening for anyone working in, or watching, the agri-food space.And there's also a moment of celebration: Dr. Sylvain Charlebois shares his recent honour—receiving the prestigious Charles III Coronation Medal from the Lieutenant Governor of Quebec. In a heartfelt reflection, he dedicates the medal to his wife, Janelle, recognizing her essential support in his research and public policy work. It's a well-deserved acknowledgment of Sylvain's national impact on food policy and scholarship.With sharp insight, humour, and a dash of royal recognition, this episode offers listeners a blend of timely news and expert analysis that defines The Food Professor Podcast.Tune into Bite Sized!Corus Entertainment is excited to add a brand-new topical program to its Talk Radio lineup on April 12called Bite Sized, which explores the business of food in the country. 640 Toronto Saturdays at 2 p.m. ET980 CFPL Sundays at 9 a.m. ET680 CJOB Sundays at 2 p.m. CST770 QR Calgary Sundays at 3 p.m. MST880 CHED Sundays at 3 p.m. MST730 CKNW Sundays at 1 p.m. PSTAbout MarkMark is an Ontario and New York attorney who has practiced trade, investment and competition law in Toronto, New York, Washington, D.C and Brussels and as counsel to the OECD in Paris.  He advises natural resource clients through Pilot Law LLP and fintech and financial Services clients through Atlantis International.

In this episode of Uncommon Sense with Ginny Robinson, I'm giving my take (to the best of my ability—because I'm not a tariff expert and neither are most of the people chiming in right now) on Trump's gutsy new tariff move. It's the one that's got half the country cheering and the other half clutching their pearls. While the media yells “economic suicide,” I'm here to suggest that this strategy might actually work—but not overnight. We'll talk about the possibility of long-term gain, the reality of short-term discomfort, and the cultural obsession with instant results when what's often required is patience. I will also go over our collective short attention spans and why longer attention spans are needed for understanding complex issues like this. Every answer won't fit in a 15 second soundbite. At the end of the day, we'll have to pray, wait, and see. Some of the smartest plays take time to unfold.—https://noblegoldinvestments.com/learn/gold-and-silver-guide/?utm_campaign=21243613394&utm_source=g&utm_medium=cpc&utm_content=&utm_term=noble%20gold&seg_aprod=&ad_id=698073353663&oid=2&affid=1&utm_source=google&affiliate_source=googleads_brand_bmbc&utm_term=noble%20gold&gad_source=1&gbraid=0AAAAADQ2DzJSJ_mi5cJo8dO2FNUs7uNy-&gclid=CjwKCAjwktO_BhBrEiwAV70jXtjSCyioSM2Hz1McTAlR3f8t3KCDDN3-XBWLaIzwJmiEGe0ztxIk5RoCnM0QAvD_BwE

Summary In this episode of Develop This Podcast, Dennis Fraise interviews David Gantz, a trade law expert, to discuss the current state of tariffs and international trade. They explore the chaotic nature of recent tariff threats and implementations, the historical context of trade agreements like NAFTA and USMCA, and the implications of new tariffs on trade relationships with Canada, Mexico, and China. The conversation delves into the impact on consumers, manufacturing, and the long-term effects on US relations with Canada, Mexico, and China, as well as the greatly diminished role of the WTO in global trade. Takeaways The current tariff situation is chaotic and rapidly changing. Historical tariffs like the 1930s Hawley-Smoot tariff are comparable to today's tariff levels on goods from Mexico, Canada, and China. NAFTA and USMCA have significantly shaped and improved trade relationships in North America for more than 30 years. New tariffs undermine and conflict with existing trade agreements such as the USMCA. Manufacturing shifts are influenced, inter alia, by tariff policies, both economic and political pressures, and the costs of altering supply chains. Consumers may face immediate price increases on their purchases due to tariffs imposed on Mexico and China generally, and imports of steel and aluminum from all foreign sources. Retaliatory tariffs from trading partners will escalate tensions and further disrupt trade. Long-term damage to US-Canada relations may take decades to repair. China is actively seeking new trade partnerships to mitigate US tariffs. The WTO's influence is waning as the U.S. and other countries pursue unilateral trade policies that conflict with basic WTO obligations.

In this episode of “Kliq This,” titled “Checking in with AEW,” Kevin Nash and Sean Oliver take a no-holds-barred look at All Elite Wrestling and the ripple effects it's creating in the pro wrestling landscape. Kevin offers his uncensored thoughts on AEW's style, particularly the way blood and hardcore elements are used in the women's division, while Sean weighs in on how these creative choices land from a fan's perspective. Their chat highlights the differences between the wrestling eras Kevin worked in and the current generation trying to push boundaries and pop the crowd. Beyond the ropes, the pair can't resist drifting into real-life territory, tackling everything from economic headlines to late-night infomercial deals. Kevin shares tidbits about his own financial decision-making and how it parallels the unpredictable nature of the squared circle. As always, Sean does his best to rein him in—when he's not egging him on to spill more backstage stories or personal anecdotes. Anyone craving an in-depth wrestling discussion will find the AEW talk both enlightening and entertaining. Kevin and Sean debate whether excessive blood still has a place in modern matches or if it risks turning fans off. They also consider how production values, storytelling, and the use of social media have completely altered wrestling since the days of the nWo—and whether AEW is cutting-edge or teetering on overload. Throughout this candid, laugh-out-loud hour, prepare for some spicy language and brutally honest opinions. Whether you're a diehard AEW fanatic, a loyal WWE viewer, or simply someone who loves listening to Kevin Nash and Sean Oliver riff on pop culture and wrestling history, this installment of “Kliq This” offers an unfiltered glimpse into the evolving world of sports entertainment—and the economic chaos swirling outside it Ridge-Take advantage of Ridge's one-a-year anniversary sale and get UP TO 40% OFF right now by going to https://ridge.com/KLIQ ! #Ridgepod The Perfect Jean F*%k your khakis and get The Perfect Jean 15% off with the code KLIQ15 at theperfectjean.nyc/KLIQ15 #theperfectjeanpod Get Blitzed-Save 15% at Get-Blitzed.com by entering the code KLIQ at checkout.

Join America's Roundtable (https://americasrt.com/) radio co-hosts Natasha Srdoc and Joel Anand Samy with distinguished business leader Bill Yeargin, President/CEO of Correct Craft and author of six best-selling books including “Making Life Better,” “Education of a CEO” and the most recent “Faith Leap.” Mr. Yeargin serves on the American Leadership Task Force, Washington, DC, an initiative of America's Roundtable and International Leaders Summit.

According to published reports, the recreational boating supports 812,000 American jobs and 36,000 businesses in the U.S. and contributes to the $1.2 trillion outdoor recreation economy. America's Roundtable conversation focuses on America's economy and the impact of public policy: ✅ Focusing on President Donald Trump's proposed tariffs on Canada and Mexico, as well as China and the European Union. ✅ The case for bilateral free trade agreements with allies including Britain, Canada, Europe and India. ✅ Forging a level playing field with a free, fair and reciprocal trade agreement. ✅ Correct Craft's unique American story as the iconic boat manufacturing company celebrates its 100th anniversary this year. "I am a CEO, not an economist, and I confess to having a strong affinity for capitalism. I believe if you want to help people, you should start a philanthropic organization. If you want to help a LOT of people, start a business. Capitalism is the undeniable wealth creator, but right now it is on life support." Bill Yeargin, Losing Capitalism, CEO World Magazine "We who live in free market societies believe that growth, prosperity and, ultimately, human fulfillment are created from the bottom up, not the government down. Only when the human spirit is allowed to invent and create, only when individuals are given a personal stake in deciding economic policies and benefiting from their success – only then can societies remain alive, dynamic, prosperous, progressive and free. Trust the people. This is the one irrefutable lesson of the entire post-war period, contradicting the notion that rigid government controls are essential to economic development. The societies that have achieved the most spectacular, broad-based progress are neither the most tightly controlled, nor the biggest in size, nor the wealthiest in natural resources. No, what unites them all is their willingness to believe in the magic of the marketplace."

Occupied Palestinian Territory In Gaza city the UN along with our partners, are providing services to tens of thousands of people, including those displaced over the past four weeks from besieged North Gaza. Yesterday, one of the UN's local partners was able to collect solid waste that has piled up along Tareq Bin Zeyad street. In multiple locations, partners are providing mental health and psychosocial support sessions, including for people newly displaced from North Gaza Governorate. However, what the humanitarian community is able to deliver falls far short of the massive needs in Gaza. Once again, OCHA calls for rapid, unimpeded humanitarian relief into and across the Strip. International humanitarian law demands that civilians have access to the essentials they need to survive: food, shelter, medical care and other critical assistance. Humanitarian also stress that civilians in the north and across Gaza must be protected. And turning to the West Bank, OCHA reports that multiple operations by Israeli forces in the north this week included air strikes and other lethal war-like tactics, which appear to exceed law enforcement standards. According to initial information, eight Palestinians were killed and four others injured during Tuesday's operations in Jenin, Tubas and Tulkarm. Meanwhile, OCHA says that from 29 October to 4 November, Israeli settlers carried out 35 attacks against Palestinians that caused casualties or property damage, including to olive trees that were vandalized. Since 1 October, OCHA has documented 177 settler incidents directly related to the olive harvest in 73 communities across the West Bank, most of which caused casualties or property damage. Operations by Israeli forces and movement restrictions have made access to health care across the West Bank increasingly challenging since October of last year, particularly in refugee camps and Area C. The UN and its partners, are responding by scaling up support to communities, including by providing more than 36,000 primary health-care consultations across refugee camps and through mobile health clinics in Area C last month. The UN Population Fund is also supporting mobile health teams, but funding shortfalls are a growing problem. UNFPA warns that without renewed funding, 96 Palestinians communities could lose out on these important services next year. Gaza/IPC reportAccording to an alert issued by the Integrated Phase Classification (IPC) Famine Review Committee, there is a strong likelihood that famine is imminent in areas within the northern Gaza Strip.The alert further underscored that the humanitarian situation in the Gaza Strip is extremely grave and rapidly deteriorating, as we have just detailed. Immediate action, within days not weeks, is required from all actors who are directly taking part in the conflict, or who have influence on its conduct, to avert and alleviate this catastrophic situation.So, this is what I have on this, the full report is now online and available and includes of course a lot more details.Full Highlights: https://www.un.org/sg/en/content/noon...Chrystia Freeland, the deputy prime minister and minister of finance, speaks with reporters on Parliament Hill after chairing the first meeting of the revived Cabinet Committee on Canada-U.S. Relations.

Chapter 10: Governmental and Regulatory Impact on Contracts explores the critical role that government and regulatory frameworks play in shaping contractual relationships. From consumer protection laws that safeguard consumers from unfair practices to antitrust laws that promote fair competition and employment laws that protect employees from discrimination, these regulations have a profound impact on how contracts are formed, enforced, and interpreted. Summary of Chapter 10: Governmental and Regulatory Impact on Contracts. Chapter 10 explores the significant influence of governmental and regulatory frameworks on employment contracts, focusing on consumer protection laws, antitrust laws, and employment contracts. The chapter examines how these laws shape the contractual relationships between employers and employees, ensuring fairness, transparency, and compliance with legal standards. 1. Consumer Protection Laws: Consumer protection laws are designed to safeguard consumers in the marketplace by imposing requirements on businesses to prevent unfair, deceptive, or fraudulent practices. Unfair and Deceptive Acts and Practices (UDAP): These laws prohibit businesses from engaging in practices that are likely to mislead or deceive consumers. Contracts that include unfair or deceptive terms may be voided, and businesses may face penalties. Truth in Lending Act (TILA): TILA requires lenders to provide clear and accurate disclosures of credit terms, ensuring that consumers understand the costs and conditions of their credit agreements. Non-compliance can result in rescission of the contract and penalties for lenders. 2. Antitrust Laws: Antitrust laws promote fair competition and prevent monopolistic practices that can harm consumers and the economy. These laws have a significant impact on contracts, particularly in industries with concentrated market power. Impact on Contracts: Antitrust laws prohibit agreements that unreasonably restrain trade, such as price-fixing, market allocation, and exclusive dealing arrangements. Contracts that violate antitrust laws are void and unenforceable, and parties involved may face penalties. Illegal Restraints of Trade: Agreements or practices that restrict competition, such as horizontal price-fixing or vertical restraints like tying arrangements, are illegal under antitrust laws. Businesses engaging in such practices risk severe legal and financial consequences. 3. Employment Contracts: Employment contracts are subject to various legal and regulatory frameworks that protect both employers and employees, addressing issues such as at-will employment, non-compete agreements, and employment discrimination. At-Will Employment: At-will employment allows either the employer or the employee to terminate the employment relationship at any time, for any reason, or for no reason, as long as it is not illegal. However, exceptions such as the public policy exception, implied contracts, and the covenant of good faith and fair dealing provide protections against wrongful termination. Non-Compete Agreements: These agreements restrict an employee's ability to work for a competitor or start a competing business after leaving their current employer. To be enforceable, non-compete agreements must be reasonable in scope, duration, and geographic area and must protect a legitimate business interest. Employment Discrimination: Employment discrimination laws, including Title VII, the ADEA, and the ADA, prohibit discrimination based on protected characteristics and require employers to provide equal treatment in hiring, promotions, and other employment practices. Non-compliance can result in legal action, damages, and other penalties. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/law-school/support

Within the past four decades, we've seen the rise of neo-liberalism, or so-called "Free Trade," free trade agreements and various other treaties and agreements that reduce and eliminate barriers and regulation for capital to invest in different nation states. While there has been some resistance, capital and investments march on. Corporations and investors have created tools such as "international investment treaties (IITs)" to continue their profit-making ventures. These treaties result in litigation that can undermine, environmental, human rights and labor protections. This is particularly important as the world is gripped in a climate crisis and regulations on carbon emissions, human rights, and fossil fuel extraction are vital. In our latest we talk with the director of Columbia's Center on Sustainable Investment (@CCSI_Columbia) Lisa Sachs about IITs and the legal tools corporations use to settle disputes with national governments when regulation gets in the way. bio// Lisa Sachs is the Director of the Columbia Center on Sustainable Investment. She is a globally recognized expert in the ways that laws, policies and business practices shape global investment flows and affect sustainable development. She works with governments around the world, regional and international development organizations, financial institutions, companies, civil society organizations and academic centers to understand the inter-relations of investment flows and sustainable development, and to influence investment policies and practices to promote the SDGs and the Paris Agreement. -------------------------------------------------------- Outro- "Green and Red Blues" by Moody Links// +Columbia Center for Sustainable Development (https://csd.columbia.edu/) Follow Green and Red// +G&R Linktree: ⁠⁠⁠https://linktr.ee/greenandredpodcast⁠⁠⁠ +Our rad website: ⁠⁠⁠https://greenandredpodcast.org/⁠⁠⁠ + Join our Discord community (https://discord.gg/ev5xKJer) Support the Green and Red Podcast// +Become a Patron at https://www.patreon.com/greenredpodcast +Or make a one time donation here: ⁠⁠⁠https://bit.ly/DonateGandR⁠⁠⁠ Our Networks// +We're part of the Labor Podcast Network: ⁠⁠⁠https://www.laborradionetwork.org/⁠⁠ +We're part of the Anti-Capitalist Podcast Network: linktr.ee/anticapitalistpodcastnetwork +Listen to us on WAMF (90.3 FM) in New Orleans (https://wamf.org/) This is a Green and Red Podcast (@PodcastGreenRed) production.
