Akin international trade senior policy advisor and former director of strategic trade and nonproliferation at the National Security Council Thomas Krueger speaks to The Washington Post about the future of U.S. export controls. The article, titled “Trump expected to toughen rules to keep China from getting U.S. tech,” explores the likelihood that these controls, especially those focused on China, will expand under President-elect Donald Trump’s second administration.
Thomas observes that a new Trump administration could extend controls to strategic technologies in addition to advanced chips. He describes the Trump administration’s potential approach saying, “there’s going to be a very large lawn…and an extraordinarily high fence,” underscoring the likely contrast with the Biden administration’s approach dubbed, “small yard, high fence.”
Thomas also offers additional insights on the role that U.S. allies will play under Trump with regard to controls aimed at China.
