Great Decisions: Trump Tariffs and the Future of the World Economy

Join the World Affairs Council for a timely and thought-provoking virtual discussion with Dr. Sanjay Paul, Associate Professor of Economics at Elizabethtown College, as part of our 2026 Great Decisions Lecture Series.

President Trump’s aggressive trade and tariff policies have disrupted long-standing global economic norms and reshaped international relationships. What is the rationale behind this dramatic shift in U.S. economic policy? How have tariffs affected global markets, multilateral trade systems, and geopolitical dynamics? And what do these changes mean for the future of the world economy?

Dr. Paul will explore these critical questions, offering expert insight into the economic and political consequences of tariff-driven trade policy and what lies ahead for global cooperation and competition.
