Just back from Lima, AS/COA’s vice president shares his views on what’s ahead for the Asia-Pacific bloc as it prepares for a more protectionist Washington.
“[The Asia-Pacific leaders meeting] is a strategic shift that is in progress. There is real concern that the U.S. is withdrawing from its traditional role,” explains AS/COA’s Eric Farnsworth.
China has the opportunity to lead a vision for the Asia-Pacific given the potential withdrawal of the Trans-Pacific Partnership, comments AS/COA’s Eric Farnsworth.
Amid fears of U.S. disengagement in global trade, AS/COA's Eric Farnsworth says President Xi Jinping's speech at the 2016 APEC Summit signaled a "strategic realignment" in the Pacific Rim.
This is a huge moment for China to forge closer trade ties with Latin America in view of Trump's protectionist policies, points out AS/COA's Eric Farnsworth.
“La amenaza es real. Podría necesitarse un esfuerzo similar al que fue necesario para aprobar el TLCAN para mantenerlo intacto bajo una Administración Trump”, apunta Eric Farnsworth de AS/COA.
