Implications of a new US foreign economic policy: A conversation with Lawrence Summers and Robert Zoellick

Lawrence H. Summers and Robert B. Zoellick discuss how the incoming US administration should approach international economic relations.  They start with US-China economic relations and the likely impact of the proposed and threatened policies towards Beijing, including congressional proposals to revoke China's permanent normal trade relations (PNTR) status. They also address US relations with allies, other major economies, and international economic institutions.

Adam S. Posen, PIIE president, moderates the discussion and takes audience Q&A.
