SMU Community Chat with trade attorney Lewis Leibowitz

Date/Time: October 30 2024, 11:00 am

Guests: Lewis Leibowitz

Lewis Leibowitz, veteran trade attorney and SMU columnist was the featured speaker on SMU’s recent Community Chat webinar.

Leibowitz always brings interesting ideas to the table – whether you agree with them or not. He represents steel consumers and often provides a counterpoint to domestic steel producers’ perspectives. We’ll discuss points of agreement too. Like efforts to contain burgeoning exports from China (limited but not excluded steel products).

We also talked about trade policy: From the coated trade case and USMCA to tariffs and the limits of presidential powers when it comes to trade. We’ll delve into the upcoming election as well. What would a win for former President Trump mean for steel? What about a victory for Vice President Harris?

And we also took questions. So make sure listen through, there were some good ones in the Q&A.
