Episode 17: Western political earthquakes and a European dog that didn’t bite

In this episode of Trade Policy Decoded, Pru and Peter share the popcorn while chatting about President Biden's decision to step aside as candidate for the US Democratic Party and its implications for US trade policy. They then delve into the populist lean seen in recent European and French elections and what it means for EU trade policy and the EU-Australia FTA. They wrap up with a discussion on the EU's initiatives to build its defence industries and the uncomfortable fit between inward-turning populist movements and the national security imperatives requiring closer cooperation with like-mindeds.
