Send us a text In this episode of Global Trade Deciphered, host Justin Hayden Miller discusses and analyses the newly signed EU-Mercosur trade agreement between the European Union and Mercosur countries (Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay, Uruguay).  Signed on January 17, 2026, after 26 years of negotiations, this landmark deal eliminates tariffs on over 90% of goods, boosts access to critical minerals like lithium, and covers investment, intellectual property, and sustainable development. But is it Europe's strategic move to counter U.S. trade policies under Trump? Justin analyzes the geopolitical implications, including how U.S. foreign policy is pushing nations toward closer ties with China, as seen in Paraguay's president's remarks on strategic partnerships. He explores farmer protests in France and Europe, opposition from countries like France, Poland, and Hungary, and the challenges of ratification—including potential vetoes, European Parliament approval, and even a possible European Court of Justice review. Key discussions include: Tariff reductions on industrial products, cars, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, wine, and agriculture (with quotas for sensitive items like beef).Safeguards for EU standards on labor, environment, and deforestation.Broader trends: Deglobalization, anti-globalization protests echoing 1999, and predictions for 2026 global trade shifts.Audio clips from Paraguay's President Santiago Peña, U.S. President Donald Trump, and EU President Ursula von der Leyen.This episode is essential for understanding 2026 trade policies, EU-Mercosur impacts on global supply chains, Trump tariffs' ripple effects, and the future of international business amid farmer revolts and geopolitical pivots.

Send us a text Episode Description The UK just delivered its Autumn Budget 2025 – and it’s sending louder signals to global trade and geopolitics than most people realise. In this unscripted, coffee-accompanied episode, Justin Hayden Miller zooms out to explore the global trade and strategic implications of Chancellor Rachel Reeves’ announcements – why the UK is rapidly becoming the world’s real-time economic laboratory, and what the rest of us should be watching for. Key global trade and policy signals discussed: “If you build here, Britain will back you” – the UK’s carrot version of Trump’s industrial-policy stickThe end of the £135 de minimis threshold: full customs duties and VAT on every imported parcel from March 2029 (yes, the same policy Trump is pushing in the US)Pay-per-mile road pricing for EVs from 2028 – and why it risks sending exactly the wrong green signalDefence spending heading to 2.6% of GDP by 2027 and Europe’s quiet pivot to a war economyPhasing out hotels for asylum seekers + the surprising question: will humanoid robots soon face immigration quotas?Why simultaneous reindustrialisation + export-led growth for every major economy is mathematically impossibleThis is not a budget line-item recap. It’s a strategic conversation about protectionism dressed in new clothes, the return of industrial policy, and the fast-changing intersection of trade, technology, and geopolitics. Essential listening for anyone involved in international supply chains, customs planning, EV strategy, geopolitical risk, or industrial policy – in any country.

Send us a text In October 2025, the International Maritime Organization's (IMO’s) Net-Zero Framework—designed to introduce carbon levies on high-emission fuels and raise up to $10 billion annually for developing nations—was delayed by a 57-49 vote until October 2026.

Send us a text Renowned U.S. international trade attorney Peter Quinter speaks on how likely it is that the US Supreme Court will overturn President Trump's tariffs. Justin Hayden Miller, a global trade lawyer, sits down with Peter to unpack the legal battles surrounding Trump’s controversial trade policies. From whether they are constitutional to Trump's unprecedented use of the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) of 1977, we dive into whether his tariffs will ultimately stand up in U.S. courts, or whether the US State will have to reimburse importers the tariffs already paid. Key Topics Discussed: Trump’s Tariff Strategy: How President Trump’s executive orders since January 20, 2025, have reshaped U.S. trade policy.Legal Challenges: Two landmark cases (VOS Selections Inc. vs. United States and Learning Resources Inc. vs. Trump) headed to the U.S. Supreme Court, questioning the president’s authority under IEPA.U.S. Constitution and Tariffs: The role of Congress vs. the President in imposing tariffs, and the non-delegation doctrine’s impact on these cases.Guest Spotlight: Peter Quinter Peter Quinter, an equity partner at Gunster and chair of its U.S. Customs and International Trade Law Group, brings 35 years of expertise to the conversation. A globally recognized international trade attorney ranked in Chambers USA, offers unparalleled insights into their legal and economic ramifications. Notable Quotes Peter Quinter: “These are the two most extraordinary cases that I’ve ever seen in my 35 years as a U.S. customs and international trade lawyer.” (On the Supreme Court-bound cases)Justin Hayden Miller: “Tariffs are somewhat on trial before the American people as well”Trade Policy 2025 If you like the podcast, please subscribe so you don't miss any episodes and leave a rating.

Send us a text Privileged Discussions is now Global Trade Deciphered, a sharper reflection of our focus on global trade and business. Same expert insights, new name. Global Trade Deciphered is a Privileged Discussions Productions podcast. Thanks for joining us! Episode Description Join host Justin Hayden Miller, a global trade lawyer, as he interviews Richard Corbett, former Leader of the European Parliamentary Labour Party and CBE recipient, on Brexit and the recent UK-EU Reset Summit. Recorded the morning after the summit on 21 May 2025, Corbett shares his insights on Brexit, its economic consequences, its trade and business impacts as well as the summit's outcomes. Key discussions include: - Brexit’s Economic & Trade Impacts: Corbett reflects on the 2016 referendum, the flawed Remain campaign, and Brexit’s economic toll, with a 4-5% GDP loss and £40 billion in annual lost tax revenue, as per the OBR. - UK-EU Reset Summit: The summit addressed trade barriers, security cooperation, and agriculture, but Corbett notes it’s a modest step, not fully resolving customs union and single market challenges. - Trade Challenges: From red tape to rules of origin, businesses face ongoing hurdles, with limited summit relief for most sectors. - Security & Geopolitics: Post-Brexit, the Russian invasion of Ukraine and US policy shifts under Trump highlight the need for UK-EU collaboration. - Future Relations: Corbett sees the summit as a mindset shift, paving the way for deeper UK-EU ties, potentially rejoining the EU by 2033. Corbett also discusses Margaret Thatcher’s European stance, the summit’s “reset” terminology, and possible future Labour representation in the European Parliament. A must-listen for insights into UK-EU relations and global trade dynamics.
