Embassy Perspectives on Trade Policy
U.S. trade policies have significant implications affecting worldwide supply chains and the global economy. Recent administrations have changed course from prior decades of U.S. trade policy to focus on supporting certain domestic industries, protecting domestic workers and promoting U.S. national security. This dynamic political and policy environment has affected supply chains, access to the U.S. and foreign markets, and the competitiveness of U.S and non-U.S industry. Join us for a deep dive into these developments, and hear from the international perspectives of our foreign embassy colleagues.

| Panel C: |
New U.S. Outbound Investment Regime – Learning from CFIUS and Other Practical Considerations
On August 9, President Biden declared a national emergency and issued the long-awaited executive order (“EO”) that proposes restrictions on certain outbound investments by U.S. persons in companies from countries of concern that are involved in developing certain products and technologies with national security significance. The outflow of U.S. investment into these technologies is seen as a threat to U.S. technological leadership and a weakening of U.S. competitive advantage on the battlefield. The accompanying advance notice of proposed rulemaking (“ANPRM”) issued by the Department of Treasury proposes a framework for implementing the EO and solicits public comment on a number of aspects of the complex framework. This move is part of a broader set of concerns over how U.S. investment poses a risk to U.S. national security, which is currently being considered by both the Biden Administration and Congress. Our panel will review key components of these proposals that companies should keep top of mind—including how to avoid unintended consequences while addressing legitimate risks.
Speakers:
- Kelly Ann Shaw – Partner, Hogan Lovells (Moderator)
- Anne Salladin – Partner, Hogan Lovells
- Lila Nieves-Lee – Republican Staff Director, Senate Banking Committee
- James Guiliano – Director of Government Affairs, American Investment Council (AIC)
- Ted Posner – Assistant General Counsel for International Affairs, U.S. Treasury Department

Export Controls and Artificial Intelligence (AI): Navigating Current and Potential Restrictions
As Artificial Intelligence (AI) continues to revolutionize industries and global markets, policy makers around the world are considering laws and regulations that seek to harness its benefits and continue protecting national security. In that context, export controls have become an essential tool in preserving U.S. leadership in AI and restricting AI uses that are perceived to threaten U.S. national security. This panel will start by discussing the current technology and national security landscape surrounding the rapid development of AI. We will then consider the current state of export controls applicable to AI technologies, the challenges of crafting effective but narrowly tailored controls in this rapidly evolving area, and what to expect going forward.
Speakers:
- Mark Brennan – Partner, Hogan Lovells (Moderator)
- Stephen Propst – Partner, Hogan Lovells
