    View post

    Summary CITP publication

    This article by the Financial Times addresses the gap between UK imports and exports of goods in 2025, the widest on record. Includes comment from Michael Gasiorek as he urges Britain to “think strategically” about moving away from the importance of the US as an export market, as the country has become “an unreliable partner”, adding that leaving the EU “has had a negative impact on our competitiveness and on our exports across a range of sectors”.

    The geopolitics of critical minerals and recent approaches to trade cooperation

    View post

    Summary CITP publication

    Series 8, Episode 2 - Critical minerals are ‘critical’ to the manufacture of vital 21st century products as electric vehicles, mobile phones, solar panels, clean technology, and defence equipment. These mineral reserves are also found in considerable quantities outside of non-Western countries. China has been quick off the mark in building out the processing and manufacturing infrastructure that gives them supply chain dominance but creates risks of supply chain weaponisation. To reduce this dependency and risk, the UK, EU, US and others have all developed different approaches to securing access to these supply chains. In this podcast, we explore what some of these approaches are, their pros and cons, and what considerations must inform sustained global cooperation on critical minerals. Joining our host Chris Horseman (Borderlex) are Sunayana Sasmal (UKTPO / University of Sussex), Dan Marks (Royal United Services Institute) and Tim Figures (Boston Consulting Group).

    Greenland, Trump and trade coercion

    View post

    Summary CITP publication

    Series 8, Episode 1 - In January, Trump threatened to impose tariffs on eight European countries who opposed his demand to take control of Greenland. Whilst this threat was later dropped, following discussions with NATO SC, what is the role of trade policy in the face of economic coercion? This podcast discusses the use of trade policy instruments in a coercive manner, the issues hanging over EU-US and UK-US trade relations, and where this positions the UK and the international rules-based trading system. Joining our host Chris Horseman (Borderlex) are Emily Lydgate (CITP), Allie Renison (SEC Newgate) and David Henig (ECIPE).
