As part of Women\\u2019s History Month, ALEC Senior Task Force Director Karla Jones sits down with one of the nation\\u2019s foremost experts on international trade Gabriella Beaumont\\u2010Smith of the Cato Institute\\u2019s Herbert A. Stiefel Center for Trade Policy Studies. They look at the international trade aspects of the ongoing baby formula crisis in the United States. Data shows that there is enough supply of baby formula in the market, so why are parents still seeing empty shelves in stores? Jones and Beaumont-Smith also discuss barriers preventing American parents from freely buying infant formula from safe trading partners that most of us would consider safe such as Canada. Finally, they consider options state government have to ensure their citizens have access to baby food formula.

Special Guest: Gabriella Beaumont-Smith.
