SUMMARY:Trade Turbulence: How Georgia's Canadian\, European Partners View Looming Uncertainty
DESCRIPTION:It’s a new environment for global trade. NAFTA is being rejiggered. Europe escaped Trump’s metal tariffs\, but issues like privacy and tax are still causing rifts in the relationship. With protectionism on the rise\, it’s unclear whether we’re headed for light scuffle or an all-out trade war.  \nIn Georgia\, international business is largely linked to North American and European investors and trading partners. Canada is the top export destination for Georgia\, and Germany is the No. 2 import market.        \nWith that in view\, how are European and Canadian investors\, which rely on global supply chains\, responding to this newfound uncertainty? \nJoin the Cumming-Forsyth Chamber of Commerce in partnership with Global Atlanta as we convene expert speakers over lunch to explore these issues and more: \nOpening Keynote: Mary Waters\, Deputy Commissioner\, International Trade\, Georgia Department of Economic Development \nTax Update: Mike Whitacre\, CPA/Partner\, Frazier & Deeter \nPanel Discussion: \n\nNadia Theodore\, Consul General of Canada in Atlanta\, a former trade negotiator and expert on NAFTA modernization \nAndreas Boedenauer\, Director of Business Development\, Actemium INP USA\, a German engineering consultancy that works often with inbound manufacturers in the Southeast U.S. \nDiane Alleva Caceres\, Managing Director\, Market Access International\, which has 18 years of experience working with Canadian and European companies entering the U.S. market\n\nCost: $20/members\, $40/non-members \nView the agenda here or below: \ntmp_12694_4-4-2018_94741_ (3)\n\n\n\n	From the archive:

SUMMARY:The Trump Effect: The Future of Georgia’s Economic Ties with China and Mexico
DESCRIPTION:If two countries were vilified during last year’s campaign season\, they were China and Mexico. While both have wooed many American factories since the early 1990s\, they’re also two of the state’s top three export destinations\, buying more than $6 billion in Georgia-made goods in 2016. And with a $500 million tire plant in the works\, China is also on the cusp of becoming a major source of foreign manufacturing investment in the state. \nNewly inaugurated President Donald Trump has made clear his intentions to reorient the U.S. trading relationships with both economies\, but will his zero-sum rhetoric translate into new policies? How might changes to NAFTA or a blanket tariff on imported goods impact the state’s outreach to these vital partners? \nFind out at this important conversation hosted by the Cumming-Forsyth Chamber of Commerce and sponsored by the accounting firm of Frazier & Deeter. \nTopics & Speakers are to include: \n\nTrade Trends With China and Mexico – Mary Waters\, Deputy Commissioner\, International Trade\, Georgia Department of Economic Development\nForeign Investment Potential for China and Mexico – Jim Blair\, Managing Director\, Navigator Consulting\nTax Opportunities and Considerations – Mike Whitacre\, partner\, Frazier and Deeter\nThe Southeast U.S. Trade Relationship With Mexico – Javier Díaz de León\, Consul General\, Consulado General de Mexico en Atlanta\n\nModerated by Trevor Williams\, managing editor\, Global Atlanta. \nCost is $15 for Chamber members and $30 for non-members. \nFor more information\, email Robert Long\, vice president of economic development at the Cumming-Forsyth Chamber of Commerce at rlong@cummingforsythchamber.org. \nRegister here. \n\n\n	From the archive:
