Mitchell A. Silk, served as the Assistant Secretary for International Markets at the US Department of the Treasury during the Trump administration. He was a member of the senior Treasury negotiating team in the China trade talks, and designed and implemented the signature US whole-of-government infrastructure finance initiative to assist foreign partners to attract private investment for infrastructure.
In The Jerusalem Post Zoomcast, Silk discusses why the US-China competition became a priority for both parties on Capitol Hill; what is inside the $200 billion package that the Senate approved last week; some of the technological challenges that China poses for the US; and in which areas both countries could cooperate.
