Episode Description from the Publisher

Trump went to Beijing for Iran. Xi greeted him with Taiwan. Day one of the summit made one thing crystal clear — these two leaders are not on the same page and may not even be reading the same book. Xi was aggressive on Taiwan from the opening bell while Trump needs Chinese cooperation on Iran to break a military and diplomatic stalemate back home. Are these two issues even tradeable? Will day two find any real common ground? Meanwhile import prices are climbing fast — fuel costs and tariffs are the culprits and American consumers are absorbing every bit of it. The geopolitics and the economics are the same story today and we connect all of it.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-tom-sullivan-show--6632619/support.
