Is Trump about to wage a trade war with China?
About this episode
The episode discusses Trump's escalating tariffs and the implications of a potential trade war with China and Canada.
As the USA and Canada head towards a prolonged economic confrontation, we look at Trump’s escalating tariffs on Canada, Mark Carney’s decision to hit back, and what a trade war between two of the world’s most integrated economies could mean for American consumers, businesses and their wider alliance. Then there’s China. Trump is trying to squeeze Beijing while keeping the broader US-China relationship from spiralling — but China is also Iran’s biggest trading partner and a major buyer of Iranian oil. That puts Trump’s new economic pressure on Tehran on a collision course with his attempts to manage relations with Xi. Later, we discuss another Trump war. This time his war on mail-in ballots.
