Is a New Trade War on the Horizon? Experts Weigh in on Trump-Era Policies and Global Risks Yesterday, industry leaders, legal experts, and policymakers gathered in Paris for a high-level conference on global trade tensions, organized by the Global Legal Customs Association and ICC France. With the specter of a new trade war looming, discussions centered on tariff policy, climate change, and trade defense strategies—three pillars shaping today’s economic landscape. We were honored to have Philippe Varin open the event, setting the stage for an insightful discussion led by top experts Leonor Cordovil, Emmanuelle Butaud-Stubbs, Jean-Marie SALVA, and MARTINET Yvon. A special thank you to our distinguished speakers, including David Stepp, Paul Casuccio, Roy Delbyck, Yijun LIU, Marc Poulain, Emma van Doornik, Christina Rinne, Arantxa de Luis Romero, Agnieszka Kisielewska, Fausto Capello, Maria Chang, Juan Pablo Rothschild, and Bert Gevers, as well as our moderators Lars Gläser, Christian Salder, and José Francisco Mafla. We also appreciate the sharp reporting from Catarina Belim, Matthieu Le Roux, and Arnaud Fendler. Warm thanks to the ICC Speakers Marc Poulain from Afep and Vincent JONQUIERES from Aperam. Finally, a round of applause to our experts and attendees who made this discussion so dynamic. This major change in global trade will have to be carefully followed up by all stakeholders but, as declared by Philippe Varin, “let’s stay all calm” ! #DSAvocats #Trade #Customs
