Replay: Trump’s China Playbook: Amb. Terry Branstad on How the President Thinks
Wednesday, 23 April, 2025
15:00 - 16:00 BST, 16:00 - 17:00 CEST

Ambassador Terry Branstad offers a perspective few can match.

As Trump's first-term Ambassador to China, Branstad helped negotiate the Phase One Trade Deal with Beijing, the first enforceable, comprehensive bilateral trade deal between the two countries in history. Amb. Branstad is uniquely positioned to interpret today's tensions. As a long-time friend of President Xi and President Trump, he has unparalleled insight into both leaders' thinking.

Now, as the global community watches for signs of de-escalation, Branstad joins KraneShares and BTIG for a timely conversation on what might come next — and what lessons from the past could guide a more constructive future.

Join former US Ambassador to China under the Trump Administration Terry Branstad and former US Ambassador to Singapore under the Obama Administration David Adelman for a webinar where they will discuss:

• What's changed – and what hasn't – since the first trade war
• Branstad's view on Trump's approach in a second term
• China's current economic outlook and strategic priorities
• Impact on China's relations with Europe, Southeast Asia, and elsewhere
• Strategic leverage beyond tariffs: tech, markets, and diplomacy
• Opportunities for engagement across both economies
