Tariffs, Economic Security, Industrial Policy, Supply Chain Resilience, and Geopolitics: Connecting the Dots

Please join the Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs for a conversation with Ambassador Katherine Tai, Harvard Institute of Politics Fellow and Former United States Trade Representative. She will discuss tariffs, economic security, industrial policy, supply chain resilience, and geopolitical cooling between the United States and its trading partners—and how these dynamics intersect in today’s turbulent global landscape.  

Ambassador Katherine Tai is an expert on international economic policy and diplomacy who served as the 19th United States Trade Representative (USTR). As a member of President Biden’s Cabinet, Ambassador Tai was the principal trade advisor, negotiator, and spokesperson on U.S. trade policy. Her vision and leadership shaped the first worker-centered trade policy in U.S. history, harnessing the power of international relations and trade to enhance workers’ rights in the United States and across the globe. She previously worked as Chief Counsel for China Trade Enforcement at USTR and Chief Trade Counsel for the U.S. House Ways and Means Committee, among other roles. 

The seminar will be moderated by Belfer Center Director Meghan O'Sullivan, Jeane Kirkpatrick Professor of the Practice of International Affairs, Harvard Kennedy School. 

Attendance is in-person and for HUID holders only. Space is limited so please only RSVP if you plan to attend.
