@rupertschlegelm It’s been years now but it was always a pleasure to work with you, Rupert. US and EU negotiators are often at loggerheads, yet you always allowed for frank, respectful exchange of views and creative approaches to achieve compromises.
China’s plan to reshape world trade on its own terms https://t.co/fPLBh1eySI via @ft Beijing aims to pivot further from trade with US/EU to the 'global south' by leveraging Belt & Road Initiative & bilateral trade deals @JKynge@henrysgao@MarkLinscott5@ZongyuanZoeLiu@vestager #BRI #RCEP
With #WTO MC13 in Abu Dhabi only days away, we can already expect a repeat of past US-India showdowns. Is there anyway to avoid this in the future? More bilateral engagement on multilateral issues wouldn’t hurt, as I write for the #AtlanticCouncil

The Biden administration has championed the new era in trade, seeing it as a moment to reinvest in US manufacturing and better counter China, writes @MarkLinscott5.
But the chorus of critical voices is large and growing.

The G20 gets a lot of attention and 2023 is no exception with India in the presidency. The host country makes heroic efforts to organize meetings, set agendas, and steer results. But, as I write for the #AtlanticCouncil, expectations need to be realistic.

I couldn't agree more with Steve Charnovitz. Might this be an opportunity for the Biden administration to develop a more robust trade policy?

I join Irfan Nooruddin and Gopal Nadadur in this piece in The Hill on the urgency of expanding the US-India trade relationship. Stay tuned for new work by @AtlanticCouncil to compare US and Indian approaches to free trade agreements.

Great to join my #ACSouthAsia colleagues in offering perspectives. Unfortunately the TPF won’t produce tomorrow. 2023 needs to be a year of shake-ups and the Biden administration can start by returning to an FTA agenda with India a future possibility
Latest contribution to #atlanticcouncil on emerging threats to #wto. There is plenty of criticism of WTO's diminished mojo in negotiating new rules (notwithstanding MC12) but industrial policies, FTAs, decoupling threaten its very foundations.

What does India's Data Protection Bill have to do with good regulatory practices? Not a stretch to connect the two, as I do in my latest for the Atlantic Council.
