Talking Trade: U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement & Tariffs
The event is sponsored by the Michigan Economic Development Corporation (MEDC).
The Michigan District Export Council is hosting a special trade forum on Wednesday, November 28 at Google Headquarters in Ann Arbor. The event will take place from 3:00 - 6:00 pm and will feature panelists from Michigan businesses who will discuss current best practices to meet today's international trade challenges. Learn how the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) differs from the NAFTA and what to expect from this modern agreement. Panelists will also share strategies for navigating new trade tariffs, what to expect in the near term (including the Section 301 increase from 10% to 25%, a possible List 4, and the Section 232 investigation of autos and parts), and how to best plan.
A networking reception will follow from 5:00 - 6:00 pm.
The event is closed to the press; recordings are prohibited.
