The Munich Security Conference kicks off in Germany this Friday amid tensions on both sides of the Atlantic. Meanwhile, defense priorities are shifting with a new U.S. administration and upcoming elections in Germany and the European Union. Many items are on the agenda, but the conference will conclude with a discussion on Europe’s role in the world.

We are joined by Keith Webster, Vice President at the Chamber, and President of the Defense and Aerospace Council and Federal Acquisition Council, calling in from Munich ahead of the Munich Security Conference. Webster will share his expectations for the meeting, key security challenges and how they relate to actionable insights for business, and how the U.S. and its allies are navigating these challenges as well as what lies ahead for transatlantic defense and economic security.

Will U.S.-Japan Security Ties Survive the Tariff Test? 22:41

3 days ago22:41

22:41

President Trump’s threat to impose a 25% tariff on Japanese auto imports has jolted the U.S.–Japan alliance days ahead of Japan’s July 20 upper-house elections. Despite repeated rounds of negotiations, a deal remains elusive, raising questions about the future of one of the world’s most important bilateral security relationships between Tokyo and Washington. This week’s guest, Dr. William Chou, a seasoned Japan analyst, unpacks how trade tensions are shaping political dynamics in Tokyo, why Japan isn’t getting credit for its significant U.S. investments and military support, and the impact all this might have on supply chains, defense, technology – and Japan’s elections. - The Call is a series of live video conversations featuring expert guests from the U.S. Chamber's Global Intelligence Desk.

Why the G20 is Crucial to U.S. Global Leadership 20:54

10 days ago20:54

20:54

The U.S. will assume the presidency of the G20 in December, presenting a unique moment next year for Washington to demonstrate global leadership by hosting perhaps the most important multilateral forum, the G20’s annual summit. It is also a moment of consequence for the U.S. Chamber, as it convenes the B20 ahead of the G20 summit, providing the business community an opportunity to help shape the G20 agenda. Our guest, Dr. Leslie Vinjamuri, argues the summit is an opportunity for the U.S. to set the tenor on a slew of issues. As co-author of a recent piece in Foreign Affairs, Dr. Vinjamuri says the G20 presents a powerful vehicle for brokering deals and advancing shared agendas, such as sustainable development, digital connectivity and energy cooperation. The U.S. remains the undisputed economic and military power of the world. But does the will in exists in Washington to broaden its definition of U.S. interests at a time of growing isolationism? We can think of no better guest to help us than Dr. Vinjamuri, who brings to The Call years of policy experience by way of Chatham House, the Queen Elizabeth II Academy for Leadership in International Affairs, SOAS University of London, Georgetown University, Harvard University, and the London School of Economics, among others. - The Call is a series of live video conversations featuring expert guests from the U.S. Chamber's Global Intelligence Desk.

Is China Coming For The Dollar? 18:50

17 days ago18:50

18:50

The U.S. dollar reigns supreme, but its role as the default global currency is increasingly under scrutiny. In his new book, Our Dollar, Your Problem, today's guest Ken Rogoff argues the greenback’s primacy might erode faster than expected. The biggest challenge might not be the status of the dollar as a reserve currency, but as the preferred unit of global exchange. Some of the U.S.’ biggest rivals, Rogoff argues, are increasingly uncomfortable with the U.S. controlling the rails of global finance through the dollar, and – from Russia to especially China – our adversaries are testing alternatives to dollar invoicing. That raises the question: Is China coming for the dollar? Rogoff joins Jay Sapsford to discuss China’s ambitions amid a weakened economy, why U.S. policies may make the dollar more vulnerable, and the implications of technology lowering the barriers to cross-border transactions. - The Call is a series of live video conversations featuring expert guests from the U.S. Chamber's Global Intelligence Desk.

The Future of Submarine Warfare: is AUKUS at risk? 20:12

20:12

The Pentagon is reviewing plans for the joint provision of nuclear submarines to Australia, a deal seen as the pillar of the trilateral security partnership between Australia, the U.K., and the U.S., or “AUKUS.” The review has sparked alarm in both Canberra and London and raises hard questions about U.S. shipbuilding capacity, defense readiness, and Washington’s long-term vision for deterrence in the Indo-Pacific. Former Deputy Secretary of State Dr. Kurt Campbell, a driving force behind AUKUS and a key architect of U.S. Indo-Pacific strategy, joins us to assess whether AUKUS is faltering, what this moment signals about U.S. global commitments, and whether the trilateral pact can still deliver on its promise of security and technological edge. - The Call is a series of live video conversations featuring expert guests from the U.S. Chamber's Global Intelligence Desk.

How Will Tariffs Reshape the Flow of Global Trade? With Ryan Petersen 21:54

6 weeks ago21:54

21:54

Tariffs don’t just change the cost of goods—they change where, how, and even if goods move at all. Recent trade talks threaten to upend these logistics for U.S. businesses and consumers. Uncertainties over the scope of the tariff regime, meanwhile, are growing after the U.S. Court of International Trade ruled against the administration’s key justification for the levies. All of which raises questions for the business community: * Can supply chains adapt to a new era of increasingly fragmented trade? * How will the disruption impact especially small businesses? * Will market forces help businesses find ways around new trade hurdles? Ryan Petersen, CEO of Flexport, joins Jay to discuss this timely and important topic. - The Call is a series of live video conversations featuring expert guests from the U.S. Chamber's Global Intelligence Desk.
