Quick Take: Inside the Renewed U.S.–China Trade Clash

Listen now to the latest on the renewed escalation between the United States and China as President Trump threatens sweeping 100% tariffs in response to Beijing’s new export controls on critical materials. In this Quick Take edition of the Teneo Insights Series, host Kevin Kajiwara speaks with Wendy Cutler, former Acting Deputy U.S. Trade Representative and Principal at WestExec Advisors, and Gabriel Wildau, Managing Director at Teneo. Together, they unpack how a series of policy announcements has reignited trade tensions, what this means for global supply chains and markets, and whether upcoming diplomacy at the APEC summit can avert a deeper economic confrontation.
