This podcast episode examines the complexities of the global trade landscape, as Ambassador Tai critiques the limitations of the Bretton Woods system and China's economic influence. She argues for a reimagined trade framework that prioritizes worker protections and sustainable practices, advocating for a "race to the top" approach over the harmful "race to the bottom." The conversation underscores the need for effective trade institutions and mechanisms that empower workers, as illustrated by the USMCA, aiming for a more equitable and resilient global economy.
