On May 7, 2025, AmCham hosted a webinar on President Trump’s vision for trade, Europe, and the world. We were honored to have Payne Griffin, Senior Director at FTI Consulting and former Deputy Lead of the International Trade Policy Implementation Team and Deputy Chief of Staff at the Offfice of the U.S. Trade Representative for the first Trump Administration. Additional perspective was given by Hans Hack, Senior Managing Director and Head of the Brussels Office at FTI Consulting, and Kevin Zuidhof, Founder and Senior Managing Director at IvCB Public Affairs & Stakeholdermanagement.
With quickly evolving Executive Orders and policies, an air of uncertainty has surrounded the relations between the U.S. and other countries. Insight on the current Administration indicates that this uncertainty is intentional and here to stay. It is expected that trade, leveraging Congress for tax cuts, and deregulation will remain a focus of the current Trump administration going forward.
