FASH455 Global Apparel & Textile Trade and Sourcing 
I found this article very interesting in regards to US textile apparel industry. Julia Hughes spoke about trade USFIA. She said they continuing to talk about the globalization in the fashion industry, but they work with many different companies throughout the supply chain. As far as the new US trade policy she said that protectionism is becoming a bigger topic. I did find it interesting that Canada was negotiating other trade agreement while they were in the agreement with the US. I thought that the US Korea agreement could have been a very good deal, but the deal had fallen through suddenly. She was a great speaker and gave good, high level, overview of what Trump has implicated.
