Lawrence H. Summers, Charles W. Eliot University Professor and President Emeritus at Harvard University, joins The Call host Jay Sapsford to discuss the evolving role of the dollar in the global economy.

As a former U.S. Treasury Secretary and Director of the National Economic Council, Summers brings decades of insight into the forces shaping global markets. He is now raising pointed concerns about how the new tariff regime could threaten confidence in the U.S. dollar and America’s role as the world’s financial safe haven.

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.
