The Trump Administration is back. And so are their signature trade policies. 'Tariffs' must be the buzzword of the year so far. But let’s be honest – even those of us that work on these subjects need to google things to fully understand what’s going on. To help us understand, we are joined in this episode by Greg Messenger, Professor of Trade Law & Policy at the Law School of the University of Bristol and Dr Maha Rafi Atal, Adam Smith Senior Lecturer in Political Economy at the University of Glasgow.

In this episode we cover the legal framework behind tariffs, the broader political and economic motivations driving these policies, and the potential fallout for global trade. Are Trump’s tariffs just tough bargaining tactics, or are they pushing the boundaries of international law? How are targeted countries responding? And what does all this mean for businesses, consumers, and economies worldwide?

Tune in for international trade law in the context of Trump 2.0.
