Webinar: Trade, Tariffs and More

Enterprise Ireland, in partnership with PwC recently hosted a “Trade, Tariffs and More” webinar that provided an overview of the newly introduced tariffs in the US, explored future considerations for cross-border trade, and discussed tax and trade policies. Our expert presenter, John O’Loughlin, Partner in PwC’s Global Trade and Customs practice, was joined by Liam Morris, Director for Trade Policy at the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade, who offered a comprehensive overview of the current policy landscape.
