In the current landscape of global trade, marked by the disruptive policies of the Trump administration and the emergence of what appears to be “Trump 2.0,” countries around the world are grappling with the challenges of protectionism that threaten the principles of free trade. Sheriff Balogun, the incoming National President of the Nigerian-American Chamber of Commerce, emphasized the need for nations to address trade issues bilaterally or multilaterally to achieve a balance in trade relations.
