The role government should play in the free market has always
been a contentious issue, even more so when international trade
jeopardizes national security. As the standoff between the United
States and China continues, disagreements over what constitutes
mutually acceptable trade practices are becoming more entrenched,

overreach. Watch Amy Celico of Albright
Stonebridge Group discuss how concerns over economic competition
and national security inform U.S. implementation of trade
strategies like market protectionism and ‘securitization.’
