Uncertainty prevails today as global powers use 'economic weapons' for foreign policy purposes against their adversaries. These tools of 'coercive economic statecraft" include sanctions, disruption of supply chains, 'weaponizing' energy and commodity markets, tariffs, and export controls. Understanding this rising geopolitical risk within the global economy is now critical for both investors and corporations.

He served in the first Trump Administration as a four-star general equivalent. He maintains deep relationships with officials from numerous foreign governments.
