Trade was once a technical subject. Today, it is political, contested, and deeply tied to Europe’s future. Trade Matters explores how the European Union trades, why it matters in a fragmented world, and why public trust is now as important as negotiation power. Moderated by Dr Eoin Drea, and featuring policymakers, Members of the European Parliament and leading experts, the podcast analyses who benefits, who bears the costs, and how trade shapes Europe’s economic security and global influence.
