Gary Locke: How U.S.-China Relations Affect Washington State
The U.S. stock and bond markets are continuing to see uncertainty amidst President Donald Trump’s flips in tariff policy. While the tariffs placed on a majority of countries have been paused, those in China are continuing to rise as the two nations retaliate against one another.
Hosts Libby Denkmann and Scott Greenstone are joined by former Governor, Secretary of Commerce, and Ambassador to China Gary Locke to get his insights on what an economic clash with China could mean for Washington state’s economy — the state exports more products to China than anywhere else.
But that’s not all. Today the show is local but international: international trade policy… international relations… international students on visas, whose work and study here in the U.S. just got upended.
Gary Locke is a uniquely qualified keynote speaker, bringing deep insight into the intersection of international trade and local economic impact. As a former Governor of Washington, U.S. Secretary of Commerce, and Ambassador to China, he offers firsthand experience navigating complex U.S.-China relations—critical context as trade tensions continue to shape both national policy and local communities. Locke’s speaking engagements are managed exclusively by WWSG. To host him for your event, contact us.
