In today's episode, we're joined by Erika Trujillo, Managing Director of SEIA GmbH. We discuss the impact of evolving U.S. export control regulations on global supply chains, particularly in Europe.
Our conversation explores the European response to aggressive U.S. extraterritorial regulation, how rules in the EU and the United States are diverging, and how multinational companies can best manage the strategic realignment with regard to China.
Key Issues Discussed in This Episode
- What are you seeing with U.S. and European sanctions export control rules? Is there a convergence or divergence?
- Regarding China, with the strategic realignment between the United States and China, what is the response you are seeing in the EU?
- If a significant divergence forces global multinationals to choose between the United States and China, how might that play out in practical terms?
- How are these geopolitical changes changing the practical compliance choices global companies have to make in the real world?
- For CFOs and chief legal officers leveraging external and internal compliance teams, what's the big takeaway?
