For @AIGemea #GlobalTradeSeries 2020 I had the pleasure of talking to @ignaciobercero & @elvirefabry abt the EU’s trade strategy amid US-Chinese tensions, Covid19, & how the EU can avoid the lure of protectionism & build domestic support for trade.
Key points below.

In response to Covid: “reshoring is unlikely to go very far in the EU”, said Ignacio.
EU too dependent on exports & it’s difficult to localize value chains. But there will be more talk abt strategic stockpiles, diversification of value chains (e.g w Africa) and subsidies.

Ignacio also offered 3 scenarios the EU shd prepare for in light of US-Chinese trade tensions:
1) decoupling,
2) exclusionary trade alliances, tho no decoupling
3) a push for WTO reform.
The EU prefers option 3, obvs.
