In this episode of The Trade Guys, Scott Miller and Bill Reinsch tackle two big stories: what came out of the latest U.S.-China trade talks, and what’s happening with the North American Free Trade Agreement. On the U.S.-China trade dialogue, the Trade Guys deconstruct what it means to halt a trade war. They also discuss what exactly the president meant when he tweeted that on China, barriers and tariffs are to “come down for the first time.” On NAFTA, the Trade Guys explain why the administration might be falling behind schedule to renegotiate the deal. They also give you the skinny on an alternative that some members of Congress are proposing. Hosted by H. Andrew Schwartz and produced by the Center for Strategic and International Studies in Washington.

In this episode of The Trade Guys, Scott Miller and Bill Reinsch talk about what’s going on between the Trump administration and the Chinese telecom company, ZTE. President Trump surprised many with a tweet saying he was working to get ZTE back into business, despite having penalized the company earlier this year. The Trade Guys also chat about whether and how the ZTE curveball might affect the next round of trade talks with the Chinese. Hosted by H. Andrew Schwartz and produced by the Center for Strategic and International Studies in Washington.

In this inaugural episode of The Trade Guys, Scott Miller and Bill Reinsch talk about a trade deal that’s made headlines: The Trans-Pacific Partnership, or TPP. They discuss what to make of the President’s recent announcement that the U.S. might rejoin the deal—even though he pulled out of it on his third day in office. What will it take for the U.S. to rejoin? Can it even do that? How are the other signatories proceeding? Hosted by H. Andrew Schwartz and produced by the Center for Strategic and International Studies in Washington.
