As you have probably heard, on Friday Washington announced a 25% levy on $50 billion of imports from China. Beijing fired back by slapping a 25% tariff on American imports.

The San Gabriel Valley Economic Partnership will host a discussion on what the future will look like now that the world's two biggest economies are in a trade war.

You are invited to attend the Partnership's Power Lunch 2.0 Series, a monthly business meeting that focuses on networking opportunities and business intelligence. At the June 21 Power Lunch 2.0, you will gain an understanding of what is really driving the recent tariff talks and how these affect international trade. This event is sponsored by City National Bank.

*Due to an overwhelming response, we closed the registration for this event. If you will not be able to attend it, please email rwang@sgvpartnership.org.
