I think one big issue preceded the COVID-19 crisis but has become more urgent today: trade diversification. Our members are still very focused on diversification, particularly this time looking at it within the lens of working with reliable trade partners. We think of the U.K., many partners in the Indo-Pacific and in Europe as part of that reliable trade network. We think this initiative and others to build more reliable partnerships, including more reliable supply chains, will be a focus going forward and stemming directly from this crisis.
