Premium Edition Teaser: Has China Won The Trade War?

This week, the Lads are taking the sword to Trump’s big deal with China. 

The South Korean talks were heralded by both sides as a breakthrough. 

They reached agreements on US soybean exports, the supply of rare earth minerals, and the materials used in production of the drug fentanyl. They managed to resolve the Nexperia crisis by means of a simple volte face. 

But in an era where trade deals tend to come and go, Andrew and Philip are picking this one out as significant. A moment where the Trumpists have had to bend the knee to the rising power, and thereby, set out the trajectory of the next decade. 

Is this The Sorpaso?
