Japan and the US and their Evolving Economic Relationship

Japan and the US and their Evolving Economic Relationship

November 5, 2019

4:00pm   

Loyola Marymount University

Van der Ahe (VDA) Suite, Hannon Library

The US and Japan are the first and third largest economies in the world and key strategic allies.  And until recently they have been two of the most important countries for maintaining the global trading system.  With the rise of China and the Trump administration’s recalibration of its trade strategy, the global trading regime is in flux and at risk. 

Come join us for a public lecture by Minister Takeshi Komoto, a high-ranking economic minister at the Japanese Embassy in Washington DC.  Minister Komoto will explain how the landscape of their economic relationship changed over the years to date and explain how both countries are finding new areas for cooperation, including in growing fields such as digital trade.

Note: The Chatham House Rule will be observed.
