With the Supreme Court of the US limiting some of his sweeping levies, Trump has signaled that alternative legal tools, including possible new investigations under Section 301 through the Office of the United States Trade Representative, could be used to impose further trade pressure.

How serious are these threats and how might US trading partners respond? And could this approach reshape future global trade negotiations?

On The Big Story, Hongbin Jeong speaks with Dr Dylan Loh, Associate Professor of Public Policy and Global Affairs at Nanyang Technological University, to find out more.
