About this event

President Trump's use of tariffs has reshaped U.S. trade policy and raised important questions about the future of the global economy. This Great Decisions discussion will examine the goals behind tariffs, their impact on American businesses and consumers, the evolving economic relationship with China, and the broader implications for international trade, supply chains, and global cooperation. Join us as we explore whether tariffs strengthen America's economy and security - or contribute to a more fragmented world economy.

Our speaker for this program is Tom Hanson. Tom is a former U.S. Foreign Service Officer with the Department of State whose diplomatic postings included East Germany, France, Norway, the Soviet Union, Sweden, and the former Soviet Republic of Georgia. Tom currently is Diplomat in Residence at the Alworth Institute for International Affairs at the University of Minnesota – Duluth and has taught diplomacy at Carleton College.  As a member of the Great Decisions advisory committee of Global Minnesota, Tom speaks frequently on international issues and contributes to local and international media.

Registration for each session is required for Great Decisions members. Please register on the MCC website. Sorry, not open to guests.
