Episode notes
Impact of High Tariffs

U.S.-China Trade War Crisis
- The U.S.-China trade war is a significant crisis with high stakes for both economies and the global economy.
- Decoupling the two economies would have damaging consequences, including impacts on interest rates.

- Despite a tariff rollback, they still hope for a lifeline to save their century-old industry.
