Hosted by the North Capital Forum

Trade negotiations rarely happen in isolation. They unfold against a backdrop of shifting global dynamics, evolving economic priorities, and growing connections between trade, technology, and national security. In this conversation, Daniel Watson, former U.S. Trade Representative, will draw on his experience at the center of U.S. trade policy to discuss the complexity of today’s negotiating environment, how global developments are reshaping economic relationships, and what it takes to navigate competing interests and priorities. The conversation will explore the broader forces shaping trade and the future of North American economic cooperation.
