Trade Roundtable with Daniella Taveau and Daniel R. Pearson

This week, we offer something a little different. My colleague Christopher Bryant, a senior regulatory consultant here at the firm, invited Daniella Taveau and Daniel Pearson into our studio to sit down and talk about trade issues. As you will hear, their conversation ranged far and wide, hitting upon all aspects of the trade discussion which might be relevant to anyone working in the chemical manufacturing space. Listeners will hear about developing a historical context in which to understand the U.S.’ shifting trade policies; analysis and speculation about current and possible future trade policies as well as their philosophical underpinnings (or lack thereof); and specific discussion about practical current issues such as re-negotiating NAFTA, the effects of the trade war with China, the automobile industry, and what stakeholders should be doing in this moment of protectionist policies. Chris’ extensive dealings in trade matters pertinent to the chemical community makes him the perfect person to moderate this spirited discussion. There are few areas of chemical regulatory and trade practice that Chis has not explored, and his mastery of this space shines through and guides this session. Daniella Taveau is a Regulatory and Global Trade Strategist and founder of Bold Text Strategies. Daniella an internationally-recognized expert in developing global business and regulatory strategies encompassing areas such as international trade, finance, agriculture, food safety, and industrial chemicals. She has extensive experience working with senior political officials and multinational corporations in six continents. Daniel Pearson is principal at Pearson International Trade Services, LLC, a trade policy consultancy. His focus includes speaking and writing on behalf of trade liberalization, business consulting, and consulting on trade remedy proceedings. If your or your business’ interests have anything to do with trade, then this episode is for you. Without further delay, here’s Chris’ conversation with Daniella and Daniel about all things trade related.
