Wilbur Ross has earned a reputation as one of the nation’s hard-nosed negotiators and “King of Bankruptcy” over his 55-year career on Wall Street. This reputation, in part, landed him among Bloomberg's 50 most influential people in global finance, and a role as Secretary of Commerce during Trump’s first administration.

After coming to Washington, Ross faced tough challenges, yet survived in his post for all four years. During his tenure, Ross was involved in negotiating and implementing tariffs on China and elsewhere. Undoubtedly, there are few others with deep insight into the mind of President Trump, and the president’s motives on tariffs, taxes, and deregulation policies.

In his latest book, Risks and Returns: Creating Success in Business and Life, Ross explains how he got to the top and stayed there. The book serves as a candid reflection of a life lived at the pinnacle of Wall Street, New York, and Palm Beach society, and the Trump administration.

Join the City Club as Former Secretary of Commerce Wilbur Ross discusses his new book, working in the Trump administration, and offers an analysis of the president’s current tariffs and economic policies.
