Trade tensions between the U.S. and China are taking a new turn with the release of a propaganda video by China’s Foreign Ministry.
Arlan Suderman, Chief Commodities Economist for StoneX, discussed the video’s purpose and its impact on global trade.

Because it knows it’s heard that there’s a hundred countries that want to negotiate lower tariffs, and it is expecting what I’ve said previously, that those negotiations will include clauses that help contain China.
