Trump and Trade Is Now SmarTrade
Our International Trade practice group has been blogging about a wide range of trade-related news and activities since November 2016, and in June 2018 we officially launched the “Trump and Trade” blog. However, our purview has always been broader than the executive branch; we also provide timely updates on legislation, trade remedy litigation, customs matters, WTO issues, anticorruption and antibribery compliance, foreign investment regulations and actions, and more.
In order to align our name more closely with our mission – providing client-focused updates on the full breadth of trade-related activities, developments and trends – we have rebranded our blog as SmarTrade.
Please visit us at https://www.ThompsonHineSmarTrade.com/ and update your bookmark if necessary. The blog’s functionality remains the same – you can still access our previously published content, filter posts by the categories most relevant to you and subscribe to receive email notifications when new posts are published.
If you have any questions, please contact your relationship attorney or any member of our International Trade team.
