Tariffs, retaliatory tariffs and currency fights, the US and China are locked in a trade war with massive consequences for the global economy.

On this week's podcast, Neil Bhatiya, an associate fellow, and Ashley Feng, a research associate, at the Center for a New American Security's energy, economics and security program answer these questions and more.
