@KennedyCSIS Nor Amcham, nor US Embassy meet and greet…..

My latest piece in Nikkei describing the consequential decisions our trading partners need to make in the lead up to the July 8th negotiating deadline. They involve decisions on timing, WTO considerations, and relations with China. https://t.co/NMs8im9Zht

Great to join the US Chamber of Commerce to share views on tariff developments. It’s a fluid story so please listen before it’s outdated by new twists and turns

[U.S. Chamber/International @ChamberGlobal]

As the U.S. and U.K. announce a new trade agreement— and as the U.S. and China prepare for their first high-level talks since the White House’s tariff announcement— @wendyscutler joins ‘The Call’ to explain what it actually takes to land a trade deal: https://t.co/YHO2M5QVa0

[Wendy Cutler @wendyscutler]

I offer my thoughts on how to get the US and China back to the negotiating table. It won’t be easy, particularly as Beijing doubles down on, but it’s doable. A good way to start is for each side ratcheting down their public criticisms of each other.

In a new op-ed for @fDiIntelligence, ASPI VP @wendyscutler lays out a possible roadmap to brokering a deal to defuse the U.S.-China trade war.

US and foreign negotiators face an array of challenges during the 90 day tariff pause period. Short window. Lots of partners. Unclear objectives to name just a few. See my latest piece in FP which offers some insights on this daunting initiative. https://t.co/F26CJqeQfK

[Wendy Cutler @wendyscutler]

I look forward to moderating our incredible group of panelists in April 22 to discuss not only prospects for a US-China trade deal but what would need to be in such a deal to make it meaningful. Please join us!

[Asia Society NY @AsiaSocietyNY]

Tune in on Tuesday, April 22 at 10 a.m. for the latest insights on U.S.-China trade news with @AsiaPolicy and @WITA_DC.

Featuring Christopher Adams of @CovingtonLLP, Craig Allen, Jeff Gerrish, @WSJ's @Lingling_Wei, and moderated by @wendyscutler.

@jhbrown16 No surprise. That’s where the WTO is headed. More like APEC

[Wendy Cutler @wendyscutler]

If you’re wondering how other countries may respond to Trump tariffs, see my latest piece in Foreign Policy.

[Asia Society Policy Institute (ASPI) @AsiaPolicy]

In a new op-ed for @ForeignPolicy, ASPI VP & former Acting Deputy U.S. Trade Rep. @wendyscutler lists out ways countries can respond to Trump's #tariffs, including unilateral measures, negotiation, retaliation, lying low, and more. Read here:

[Wendy Cutler @wendyscutler]

As expected, China responds to US tariff hikes with speed & proportionality. But goes beyond tariffs by further restricting critical mineral exports, AD actions and more. Let’s reopen some serous channels of communication before things escalate further

[Wendy Cutler @wendyscutler]

What a contrast. Chinese stocks rally at the National People’s Congress largely due to AI successes. Meawhile US stocks continue to tank due to tariffs. Shouldn’t our focus be directed on improving our competitiveness vs hitting partners with tariffs? https://t.co/aDXr2NtUgM

[Wendy Cutler @wendyscutler]

Honored to join my colleague Jane Mellsop and three prominent voices from Asia to discuss the new trade and supply chain environment. Lots of uncertainties and challenges to say the least. But also opportunities!!

[Asia Society Policy Institute (ASPI) @AsiaPolicy]

How will Trump's #tariffs impact U.S. friendshoring policy and global supply chains? What's the impact on Indo-Pacific partners? Experts Iman Pambagyo, @jayantmenon, @yastodo, @wendyscutler, and @nzjane1 discuss in a new panel discussion.

Watch here: https://t.co/nYkd7ngtxw

[Wendy Cutler @wendyscutler]

It sure didn’t take China long to retaliate and unlike a few weeks ago this new package aims directly at US agricultural exports and targets select US companies. Will Senate Republicans in farm states respond with concern? https://t.co/kdYsrltdr0

[Wendy Cutler @wendyscutler]

Check out the new ASPI report on friendshoring. Will this concept survive in the new Administration?

[Asia Society Policy Institute (ASPI) @AsiaPolicy]

And for expert insights on the impact of U.S. friendshoring policy in the Indo-Pacific, don’t miss our virtual panel discussion tomorrow featuring Iman Pambagyo, @jayantmenon, @yastodo, @wendyscutler, moderated by @nzjane1

This was a first. A meeting with the Korean Deputy Minister Park today, with a delegation of five women from the Trade Ministry accompanying him and participating in our discussions. Things are changing!!!!

[Wendy Cutler @wendyscutler]

As if there wasn’t enough news on tariffs this week, one more announcement. Expect auto tariffs “around” April 2nd. Will be interesting to see whether other sectors, like pharms and semis, are added, and the legal justification for this action https://t.co/81nBntiPmq

[Wendy Cutler @wendyscutler]

Enjoyed joining Nazak to share our thoughts on reciprocal tariffs. I suggest a targeted approach, focusing on key products, like autos, and negotiating with our partners to address our concerns, rather than resorting to unilateral tariff hikes.

[Squawk Box @SquawkCNBC]

.@wendyscutler and Nazak Nikakhtar discuss President Trump’s plans to implement reciprocal tariffs on all major U.S. trading partners: https://t.co/HuIrdw6Cc7

[Wendy Cutler @wendyscutler]

With the largest trade surplus and layers of unfair trade practices, you would think China would be at top of list for significant trade actions. Instead, reciprocal tariffs, along with the steel tariffs focus on our friends. https://t.co/ODqTg8rDAm

[Wendy Cutler @wendyscutler]

The concept of reciprocal tariffs is straightforward, albeit a complete departure from MFN tariffs. With thousands of tariff lines and hundreds of countries, operationalizing the concept will be no easy task, particularly in less than 2 months. https://t.co/AHhGclV0rz

[Wendy Cutler @wendyscutler]

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum hit a home run in her dealings with President Trump last week. Other leaders would be well served by studying her approach — firmness but knowing when to pivot. https://t.co/xonbAmFRpt

[Wendy Cutler @wendyscutler]

US trading partners want certaint. In their view, nothing worse than making concessions to avert one set of tariffs only to be hit with another set of tariff hikes the following week. May impact their interest in negotiating

"While overtures may be made to work with the Trump team to avert the tariffs, our partners may conclude that tariffs are coming so fast and furious, negotiations are not a durable option," - @wendyscutler
