Dr. Jan Yves Remy, again demonstrated her understanding of International Trade Issues and an incredible ability to impart that knowledge in a practical easily understood manner.

In a one hour webinar Dr. Remy skillfully articulated the real bread and butter issues involved in the America First Policy of President Donald Trump.

Aftr explaining the itiallly stated policy and its traiff implications, she went on to explain how the policy was expected to affect the Caribbean generally. She very quickly went on to alert that this Policy was not only about tariffs but an almost total reset of trade and economic relations between america and its trading partners lareg and small.

In what can best be described atour de force, Dr. Remy spoke to the new transactional nature of US- trade negotiations and dialogue, which was not predictable or followed any predictable formula.

The Webinar was most revealing as it took the business community into thinking about how their trading arrangements have already started to react to that policy and the emerging issues that were already being felt, such as visa concerns and the immediate change in development assistance and or cooperation, between the US and other nations and international bodies.

The Chamber thanks Dr. Remy for her again sharing of her knowledge and insights with Chamber Members and will certainly accept her offer to host regular dialogues and conversations with her on the numerous and varied international trade issues that are affecting the country.
