The New York Times has quoted Akin Gump public law and policy partner Clete Willems in the article “Trump’s Call to China to Investigate Biden Could Complicate Trade Talks.” According to the article, President Trump’s urging of Beijing last week to investigate former Vice President Jose Biden and his family will increase scrutiny of any trade deal that the two sides may reach.
But Willems, a former White House trade negotiator, does not expect the President’s comments on Biden to figure into the trade talks. “Our teams have been very good throughout the negotiating process at keeping unrelated issues out of the talks, and I suspect that will continue,” he said.
