Join ProfG+ (https://profgmedia.com) for exclusive access to a livestream with the latest analysis of the Trump/Xi summit. Hosted by Alice Han and James Kynge of the China Decode podcast, and featuring guest expert Kevin Xu of Interconnected Capital. It’s on Friday, May 15th at 10:00AM ET — click here: https://links.profgmedia.com/cd-livestream Scott Galloway and Jessica Tarlov break down Trump’s momentous trip to China, where discussions are taking place between the U.S. delegation and China’s, led by President Xi Jinping. The summit’s agenda was full — with trade, artificial intelligence, Taiwan, and the war in Iran dominating the meetings. While the summit featured warm rhetoric and symbolic pageantry, Xi also issued a stark warning about Taiwan, raising new questions about whether the U.S. and China are moving toward deeper cooperation, or a more dangerous confrontation. Back home, the economic fallout from the Iran conflict continues to intensify. Inflation has climbed to its highest level in three years, driven in large part by rising energy costs, as Americans increasingly feel the pressure from higher gas prices and a weakening economic outlook. Plus: the Senate confirms Trump’s new Federal Reserve chair, potentially reshaping interest-rate policy at a moment of growing uncertainty. And then, Scott and Jessica check in on friend of the show Texas Rep. James Talarico’s Senate campaign.
