In this episode, geopolitical expert Rodger Baker of RANE breaks down what this change means for global markets, U.S.–China relations, and the future of tariffs as well as how the unconventional nature of this administration changes the way that analysts, like Mr. Baker, work to predict geopolitical changes and effects. Thank you to Mr. Baker for joining me on The GeoPolitical!
