President Joe Biden is trying to usher in an era of new economic order
that moves past old models of free trade and reliance on markets.
Instead, he’s trying to push a "worker-centered" trade policy, raise
wages around the world and bolster environmental standards. So far
though, the Biden administration has struggled to define its vision in
less abstract terms, let alone implement it. POLITICO’s Gavin Bade
breaks down why Biden is trying to reshape the global economic system
and what it could mean for America’s energy policy. Plus, a new
nonprofit analysis shows that military spending to clean up toxic
chemicals in drinking water isn’t keeping up with the growing scope of
the problem. 

 

We want to invite you to POLITICO’s first Energy summit! Hear from
Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm, White House National Climate Advisor
Ali Zaidi, and more to hear about the new energy transition. Mark your
