Trade can often feel impersonal but trust us – it is very personal. Trade is about people. It is about the connections it creates, the challenges it can bring, and also about the opportunities it unleashes. Let's Talk Trade brings these stories to the forefront. Every season we will dive into a different subject, and get people talking about how trade matters to them, and what the World Trade Organization has got to do with it. So stay tuned, and Let's Talk Trade! Brought to you by the World Trade Organization.
