Leibowitz on Trade: Trump's Changing the 'World Order'
Written by Tim Triplett
Lewis Leibowitz, trade attorney and contributor to Steel Market Update, offers the following commentary on the latest trade news in Washington:
Is there anyone out there who believes President Trump is not methodically alienating our closest allies? Yesterday, in what was clearly a deliberate attempt to provoke the other six members of the G7, President Trump declared that the conference was a success, and that the G7 should work toward barrier-free trade among that group. Of course, he also advocated readmitting Russia to the group, reconstituting the G8, but did not advocate including Russia in the barrier-free trade group.
