President Donald Trump has signed an executive order to withdraw
from the negotiating process of the Trans-Pacific Partnership and
has vowed to renegotiate the North American Free Trade Agreement.
Both moves signal to foreign nations that the United States may
have a very different outlook on international trade under
President Trump. In this episode of Politics & Polls, professors
Julian Zelizer and Sam Wang interview (Ret.) Amb. Michael B.G.
Froman ’85 about his outlook for international trade in a ‘Trumpian
World.’ Amb. Froman served in President Obama’s cabinet as the U.S.
Trade Representative from June 2013 to January 2017. There, he
worked to open global markets for U.S. goods and services, enforce
America’s rights in the global trading system and foster
development through trade.
