Since his return to the White House, President Donald Trump has caused shock waves across global trade. On this episode of Watt Matters, Joseph Francois from the World Trade Institute joins the team to discuss the new trade paradigm and what it means for the energy transition


The world has entered a new paradigm of tense trade and geopolitical relationships at a time when it should be collaborating on decarbonisation. 


Donald Trump's re-election and pursuit of protectionist policies made matters even more complex, throwing a spanner in the works of the energy transition and reshuffling the country’s political alliances.


Recorded before Trump’s wave of new tariffs in early April, on this episode of Watt Matters, the team is joined by Joseph Francois from the World Trade Institute to discuss where the energy transition fits into this new world order and the thinking behind Trump’s approach to trade.
