On this week's episode of Top in Tech, Adriana Capparelli, Practice Director, is joined by Emilie Kerstens, Senior Associate, and Anna Lisa Schäfer-Gehrau, Associate, to unpack the Digital Markets Act (DMA) and its growing significance for EU-US relations in the tech and trade space. They explore how the DMA is shaping Europe's digital regulatory landscape and creating new tensions with US policymakers, who view the framework as disproportionately targeting American firms. The discussion covers early enforcement lessons, the changing tone of transatlantic trade negotiations, and what the DMA reveals about the EU's broader regulatory direction. They also reflect on the practical challenges of compliance, the role of emerging case law, and the implications for future digital legislation. Hosted on Acast.

Rising trade tensions between the US and the rest of the world are creating uncertainty for businesses. With tariffs already imposed on Canada, Mexico, and China—and threats looming over the EU and UK—the global regulatory landscape is shifting fast. Beyond economic disruptions, we're also witnessing growing conflicts in data regulation, sanctions policies, and corporate compliance standards, from bribery laws to DEI initiatives. What does this mean for businesses trying to stay compliant and competitive in 2025? In this episode, our compliance experts break down the latest developments in the transatlantic trade wars and what businesses need to do to protect themselves from the impact of shifting policies. Key topics include: US tariffs and trade policy: A breakdown of recent moves and their effects on global markets Data conflicts and compliance risks: How US, UK, and EU regulatory differences could spark a "data war" Economic fallout: How rapidly changing tariffs and sanctions could disrupt supply chains and key industries Sanctions divergence: The risks of navigating conflicting US, EU, and UK policies on Iran, Russia, and beyond Bribery and DEI compliance: The impact of potential rollbacks in US corporate compliance laws on international businesses How to prepare: Risk mitigation strategies for businesses in a volatile regulatory environment

Between 2013 and 2016, the same “anti-globalisation” movement sank a US-EU bid to build a Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership but it wasn't until 2016 – with the Brexit referendum and Donald Trump's election as president – that the postwar trade liberalisation process threatened to go into reverse.

The Biden administration's efforts to subsidize green energy in America are creating problems in European markets, particularly for German car manufacturers. Analysts say rising tensions could have a number of effects, one of which is a trans-Atlantic trade war. Ukraine is fighting for its survival right now. But what is motivating Russia to put everything on the line for control over Ukraine? What is at stake in this war for Russia? A very rare find in Jerusalem was just announced that illuminates a dramatic period of history: the first-century A.D. Great Revolt against the Roman Empire. Within a trove of Jewish coins was a silver half-shekel that tells a fascinating story. And we conclude by contrasting the view of Jesus Christ presented in Christmas with the one presented in the Bible.

As part of an agreement on the future trade policy agenda reached last Friday (11 November), Germany's centre-left “traffic light” coalition agreed to attempt to restart trade negotiations for a free-trade area encompassing the EU and the US. The last attempt at such an agreement, the negotiations for a Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP), failed after Donald Trump took office as US president in 2017. Yet the German push to revitalise the talks is likely to fail, with even business representatives being sceptical about the success chances. “I'm not quite sure that there is the political momentum that would be required, to be honest, on either side of the Atlantic to get into a massive and comprehensive trade negotiation,” Thibaut L'Ortye of the American Chamber of Commerce to the EU, who is representing American businesses operating in the EU, told EURACTIV. This view was echoed by the European Commission, saying that negotiations for a new, TTIP-style trade agreement were “not on the agenda”. Instead, L'Ortye puts his hopes on the Trade and Technology Council (TTC), a forum created between the US government and European institutions to increase cooperation in strategic economic areas. Thus, while the appetite for all-encompassing and lengthy trade negotiations is small, cooperation has moved to a more small-scale approach. “The [TTC] has become our main cooperation platform where we talk about both bilateral trade facilitation and global standards,” a Commission spokesperson told EURACTIV. The next meeting of ministers of the US government with EU Commissioners is set to take place on the 5th of December. “Everybody feels confident that there will be a series of announcements,” L'Ortye told EURACTIV, pointing to multiple working groups on topics like artificial intelligence, semiconductors, supply chain risks and cybersecurity. EU Commission sets member states' expectations for next transatlantic meeting The European Union and the United States aim to complete a series of ‘deliverables' ahead of the next high-level meeting in December, including a roadmap on trustworthy AI, a joint exercise on supply chain disruptions, and recommendations on charging infrastructure. ‘Inflation Reduction Act' under fire German industry representatives agree on the importance of the forum. The TTC “should be used more to jointly shape tomorrow's trade standards instead of having them imposed by a world dominated by China”, Volker Treier, head of Foreign Trade Policy at the German Chambers of Industry and Commerce (DIHK) told EURACTIV. However, the association also points to multiple barriers for European compani

Shipping Podcast - listen to the maritime professionals in the world of shipping
Global trade is impossible without transportation, and every country relies on maritime trade to sell what it has and buy what it needs. Since there is more transportation on the water than onshore, maritime transport is dependent on trade. That's why this episode is all about trade. Cecilia Malmstrom, Former EU Commissioner for Trade and now a non-resident senior fellow at PIIE (Peterson Institute for International Economics), is the interviewee in episode 181. We discuss shipping from a global trade perspective. Cecilia has been representing the EU in various trade negotiations. She knows everything there is to know about trade agreements, politics and how to take many different viewpoints into account when negotiating.

In this conversation Alfred and I begin by discussing the meaning of empire and world order and what those terms mean. We then delve into the issue of what Alfred calls the "delicate duality" in which Empires express ideals on one hand but seeks maintenance of power, often through breaking from those ideals, on the other. From there we dive into a number of other topics including the United Nations and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, how the contradictions of the "delicate duality" can eventually undermine and subvert an empire, the degradation of U.S. moral authority vis-a-vis the torture at Abu Gharib and Guantanamo Bay, China and an alternative international order, climate change and its projected impact on Shanghai by 1950, the late geopolitical chess player Zbigniew Brzezinski, principle vs. power in China and the U.S., what the decline of U.S. power means for the American public, projecting 2030 as the year of America's loss of hegemonic power globally, Chinese military power and technology in the near future, the Pentagon war games in which the U.S. end up in a conflict with China over Taiwan, the succession of hegemonic powers historically and their struggles to dominate the Eurasian land mass, how the U.S. dominated the Eurasian landmass through the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), China and the Shanghai Cooperative Organization, China and the tri-continental world island, potential waning of relations between U.S. with countries like Japan and the Philippines, the advantage that the U.S. has had as the global hegemon, the establishment of the U.S. dollar as the global reserve currency and the construction of a "Grand Imperial Bargain", the weak social safety net and low wages in the U.S. and workers relying on cheap good that could become expensive in the future (causing social tensions to arise and exacerbate), not wanting to make policy recommendation in To Govern the Globe as it could degrade an objective analysis of the historical trajectory, Barack Obama's strategy for containing China and the Asia Pivot, the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) and the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP), Sir Halford McKinder and the World Island, Zbigniew Brzezinski's conditions for the perpetuation of U.S. hegemonic power and how all those conditions have been violated), climate change as the next catastrophe for world order and the choice between world order and barbarism that may face us as climate change worsen, climate change and the potential refugee crisis it could cause, the emergence of the First World Order through the Black Death and the destruction of the Mongolian Empire, the death of one world order and the emergence of another throughout history, China and coal power, projections indicating China will be hit by extreme heatwaves in the coming decades, international cooperation without the total loss of national sovereignty, the potential for a new kind of empowered world order to face climate change, climate change and the potential for brutal conflict over resources like water, the prosperous Global North vs. the impoverished Global South, John Mearsheimer and looking past the anarchic world system, the European Union, ceding limited and narrow areas of sovereignty as a small reform that could combat climate change, and more!

On September 16, the Minister of Commerce of China formally submitted an application forComprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership or CPTPP membership to New Zealand.The predecessor of CPTPP was Trans-Pacific Partnership or TPP, and TPP was designed to contain China economically. It can be said that TPP is an economic cooperation organization that anyone can join, except that China is excluded. As early as 2013, the British Financial Times reported that Obama's TPP and the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership between the United States and Europe are actually ABC strategies, meaning Anyone But China.I set up and operate this channel alone, hoping to share the real China with the world as well as clarify misconceptions and lies against China. The continued development of China is the biggest game-changer in this century that affects all aspects of everyone's lives.

The European Union and the United States have the largest bilateral trade and investment relationship and enjoy the most integrated economic relationship in the world. Although overtaken by China in 2021 as the largest EU import source for goods, the transatlantic relationship continues defining the world economy. The US remains the EU's largest trade and investment partner by far and either the EU or the US is the largest trade and investment partner of almost every other country in the global economy.

This week's interview features Ambassador Darci Vetter, Chief Agriculture Negotiator with the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative. Ambassador Vetter expects a positive year for global trade with the anticipated congressional approval of the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPA) agreement and conclusion of the ongoing Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) talks. Vetter responds to speculation of a potential challenge of U.S. policy for soybean risk protection and possible trade reaction to a pending USDA decision to designate cottonseed as an oilseed. While both U.S. export volume and value may be lower, Vetter believes agricultural trade will be less affected by global economics than other products. Jeff NalleyAmbassador Darci Vetter - USTR

Support from farmers and ranchers will be crucial in advancing an ambitious trade agenda, she adds.Jeff NalleyAmbassador Darci Vetter
TPP? TTIP? In the world of trade negotiations, there is no shortage of acronyms. And who better to break them down for us than Harsha Singh, former deputy director general at the World Trade Organization? Harsha recently visited CGD to join Kim Elliott in leading a roundtable to discuss with other trade experts the implications of these proposed mega-regional trading blocs for developing countries. After the roundtable, I invited Harsha to join me on the Wonkcast to explain the development implications of these trade deals to interested non-experts, with a particular focus on the impacts of smaller, poorer countries who are unlikely to be included. Proposals for the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP), which would include the US, Canada, Mexico, Peru, Chile, Australia, New Zealand, Brunei, Singapore, Vietnam, Malaysia, and Japan; and the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP), which is proposed to include the US and EU, arose in part out of frustration with the World Trade Organization's Doha Round, Harsha explains. The TPP and TTIP aim to enhance trade and investment among members, but they could also pose huge challenges for small, poor countries that find themselves excluded, he says. One of the primary concerns “is the diversion of markets away from their products to those who get preferential treatment as members of these mega-regionals.” Harsha says that while most of the focus has been on tariff preference erosion, nontariff barriers to market access may pose a much more serious problem. “The important thing is not just meeting the standards, but also the system which is used to determine that the standard actually is consistent with what is being demanded," Harsha explains. "That system can often be exclusionary.” For more on these issues, read Kim Elliott's account of the roundtable discussion and listen to the Wonkcast. Among the topics we tackle: the impact of the mega-regional trade deals on the big emerging market economies, Brazil, China, and India, and the global value chain for an iconic 21st century product: the iPhone. My thanks to Kristin Sadler for a first draft of this blog post and to Kristina Wilson for recording and editing the Wonkcast.
