'Rocky Start' with China Trade Tensions

Sandra Swirski reflects on this week's "rocky start" on U.S. and China trade relations, noting a cooling in President Trump's tone as the week progressed. She says "all of this tit-for-tat is not helping at all." Sandra breaks down Pres. Trump's "Art of the Deal" negotiation tactics and how it applies to the global, macro trade between 2 large economies. She discusses the rare earth trade and China's dominant position in that industry. Later, Sandra provides her perspective on the Trump/Xi meeting that has been talked about for months.
