“Biden treads carefully around Trump’s combative trade policy.”

Mary Lovely, professor of economics in the Maxwell School, was quoted in the Associated Press story “Biden treads carefully around Trump’s combative trade policy.” Lovely, an expert on U.S.-China relations and economics, is not surprised that President Biden is taking his time in addressing trade issues within his administration. “Biden has said repeatedly that he needs America to be stronger before he takes on a lot of these trade issues,” Lovely says.
