In this episode of Trade Policy Decoded, Peter and Pru talk to Australia’s Ambassador to the WTO, James Baxter, on a range of issues facing the organisation and WTO member responses to President Trump’s trade policies.
They canvas WTO member outreach via the Public Forum and key themes discussed at this year’s Forum, critical challenges facing the WTO, the WTO reform agenda, scope for securing new outcomes at the 14th Ministerial Conference in 2026, and the ongoing and important work Australia’s diplomats undertake in promoting Australia’s trade interests.
These topics and more are explored in this instalment of Trade Policy Decoded.
