Who Are You Negotiating With?

Victor Menasce
About this episode

On today’s show we are talking about the global response to US negotiating tactics. The President is used to negotiating with a single party across the table. But he lacks experience negotiating with millions of people who are not party to the negotiation. 

The current negotiating stance of the US administration is highly combative and employs methods designed to maximize US leverage in the negotiation. There are three possible responses to this approach 

  1. Engage In Negotiations
  2. Give in to US demands
  3. Take steps to reduce or eliminate the US negotiating power 

It’s that 3rd approach which is not getting very much attention. It also presumes that you know who you are negotiating with.
