Trilateral Trade Cooperation Among the United States, South Korea and the European Union

The global trade environment has been increasingly uncertain due to de-globalization, protectionism, and regionalization of the global supply chains. These trends have only been hastened by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. In this environment, new issues such as economic security, digital trade, climate change, and environment are emerging. These changes have heightened the need for trade cooperation among the EU, Korea, and the United States. For this, we need to go beyond traditional trade policies such as FTAs. KEI, KIEP, the KF-VUB Korea Chair and GWIKS organised a discussion with former senior officials and experts on the policies necessary to address these new trade issues. The event took place on 13 Oct, 9:30am – 12:00pm EDT in Washington DC. Please see more information here. The event recording is available here.
