(6/26/19) With major developments in both domestic and international news in recent days, it’s easy to forget that the US is currently engaged in a trade war with China. Donald Trump (along with 19 other world leaders) is heading to Osaka, Japan for the G-20 summit on Wednesday. The President has threatened additional tariffs if Chinese President Xi Jinping isn’t willing to meet with him at the summit. In this episode of “TrumpWatch with Jesse Lent” on WBAI, Soumaya Keynes, US economics editor for The Economist and co-host of the “Trade Talks” podcast, examines the effect President Trump’s tariffs on China are having there and in the US.
