Edina Great Decisions: Trump Tariffs & the Future of the World Economy
February 9 @ 4:00 pm CST
/ Free
This free event is being held in-person and is open to everyone.
Trump’s trade and tariff policies have shaken global economic norms. What’s the rationale behind this shift in economic policy, and what are the implications for multilateral trade and geopolitics?
This program is presented by Edina Community Ed through a partnership with the Edina Senior Center, the Edina Library, the Edina Community Center, and Global Minnesota.
The Great Decisions program addresses some of the most timely foreign policy issues facing the United States each year. Global Minnesota facilitates discussion groups across the state, providing access to a roster of local foreign policy experts and offering Great Decisions books produced by the Foreign Policy Association.
