Virtual

Please join Crowell Global Advisors for a roundtable discussion with health care industry and international trade experts on President Trump’s trade policy and how it affects players in the health care industry.

We will also take questions from listeners. 

Discussion topics will include: 

  • Risks and resilience strategies in the medical supply chain
  • Tariffs, trade imbalances and national security considerations
  • Opportunities to engage policymakers proactively to address tariffs and advance market access
  • Key country-specific considerations: Mexico, India, China, EU
  • Global health care collaboration in a fragmenting world
