Just how fast can a trade deal realistically get done?

During this episode of The Call, Wendy Cutler, Vice President of the Asia Society Policy Institute and former Acting Deputy U.S. Trade Representative, warns businesses to brace for more uncertainty, risk, and supply chain concerns as the U.S. negotiates.

As the U.S. and China prepare for their first high-level talks since the tariff announcement, Cutler joins Jay Sapsford to explain what it actually takes to land a deal—and why speed, trust, and leverage are in short supply.

The Call is a series of live video conversations featuring expert guests from the U.S. Chamber's Global Intelligence Desk. Live access to The Call is a benefit to the Chamber’s members; however, we are pleased to provide recordings of the calls for wider viewing thereafter. Information on membership is available here.
