In a recent ABC interview, APAC Advisors CEO Steven Okun unpacked why, under traditional FTA definitions, the answer is no — but why, in today’s fractured global trading system, that framing may be missing the bigger picture.
With the rules-based order under strain, this deal could signal the emergence of a new trade architecture — one shaped without the U.S. or China as the primary architects.
In that sense, it may well mark the beginning of something far bigger.
Great to see this conversation explored with ABC, and timely as businesses and investors reassess where trade power — and leverage — is shifting.
