After four years of talks, a brand new E.U.-Japan free trade deal is complete. With the U.S. out of the Trans-Pacific Partnership, a US-EU trade deal on hold, and a protectionist U.S. President, what can we expect on the global free trade horizon? Is the rest of the world continuing to deal as the U.S. backs away? To help us answer those questions are: Iana Dreyer, founder and editor of Borderlex.EU, an online news outlet that focuses on EU trade policy Caroline Freund, senior fellow at the Peterson Institute of International Economics and a former World Bank, IMF and Federal Reserve official Joshua Meltzer, senior fellow at the Brookings Institution's Global Economy and Development Project and a former Australian trade representative to the U.S. If you enjoy this discussion, please follow us on Twitter @WakeOnAir. To share feedback with us, send us an email to wake@talkmedianews.com.
