Two major speeches by two of the world’s most powerful leaders, delivered on opposite sides of the planet: For China, it was a call for unity to overcome obstacles through innovation and “opening up” — a time-honoured phrase in Chinese politics — to eventually accomplish national rejuvenation. Seven thousand miles away, President Donald Trump addressed both chambers of the US Congress, vowing to levy tariffs on imports and defeat inflation to "make America great again" — an equally resonant phrase for many in the United States. The paths their leaders choose will shape both countries’ futures — and the rest of the world’s, too. For in-depth analysis and a deeper perspective on the world’s "multilateral trading system" as it faces America’s new socio-political and economic policies under the Trump administration, FRANCE 24’s François Picard is pleased to welcome John WH Denton AO, Secretary General of the International Chamber of Commerce in Paris.
