The coronavirus pandemic has severely disrupted global trade and plunged economies across the Atlantic into recession. For now multi-trillion relief and stimulus packages have been passed, but this moment may lead to domestic structural economic reform and a rethink on globalization. Thea Lee and Reiner Hoffmann will discuss European and U.S. approaches for economic recovery. How can we navigate toward economic recovery and what role will international trade play in a post-coronavirus world?
