Négociations accrues : aller vers une diversification plus audacieuse des échanges.
L’impact des tarifs douaniers américains force les entreprises avisées à regarder au-delà de nos frontières, voire au-delà du continent. L’Europe et l’Asie offrent les meilleures occasions d’étendre nos activités, et de rééquilibrer ce faisant nos relations encore vitales avec les États-Unis. Edward Greenspon, John Risley et Jakub Uziak examinent ce que les entreprises canadiennes doivent faire pour réussir à négocier ce virage et, par le fait même, transformer le Canada en une nation novatrice dotée d’un portefeuille commercial plus diversifié. John Risley tire parti de sa longue expérience pour jeter un précieux éclairage sur ces enjeux.
Cet épisode dévoile les stratégies audacieuses et le cadre politique nécessaires pour redéfinir les relations de commerce et d’investissement, et accroître notre souveraineté comme notre prospérité.
