Please join us for an interactive session on the topic of "International Trade in 2025: President Trump, Sanctions and Tariffs – The view from the UK," featuring Lord Gavin Barwell as our distinguished guest speaker.

Lord Gavin Barwell will share his insights on the impact of the US Administration's trade policy and tariffs, with a particular focus on the impact on and response from the UK. Lord Barwell's comments will be followed by a dynamic discussion moderated by leading members of our UK-based Trade and Government Affairs Team.

The session will delve into:

• Geopolitical shifts: How US trade policy and tariffs are reshaping global alliances and trade dynamics.
• UK response and priorities: How the UK is engaging with the US (including the UK-US trade deal) and with other major economies in response to US developments.
• The UK-EU "reset": Key features and opportunities for UK businesses.
• Sanctions: Key developments in 2025 to date and potential for future US, UK and EU agreement on relaxation of Russian sanctions.

In usual CIRCLE style the session will be highly interactive – there will be the opportunity for discussion at your tables and with the wider room – to get insights from the network under Chatham House rules.
