Abstract

I agree with Warren's comments, particularly about driving students and reporters to trade lawyers' doors. I think that we all, in the trade community, seem to be breathing a bit of a sigh of relief, a hesitant sigh at the moment, that China's not going to be labeled the currency manipulator, that we have not withdrawn from NAFTA. But I also don't want to overemphasize the go slow. I mean, one of the first acts that Trump did was withdraw from the TPP negotiations, and I think that the loss of TPP is a mixed bag for the United States. I think that there was certainly a lot of criticism within the United States of the TPP negotiations and it's not clear that a Clinton presidency would have been a strong supporter of that.
