Summary

President Trump is meeting with President Xi Jinping in China. One of the main topics is China’s interest in Taiwan, which remains a key issue in U.S.-China relations. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced that Israel is planning legal action against The New York Times, alleging the paper has published anti-Semitic content. Jerome Powell will remain on the Federal Reserve Board after serving as Fed Chair. Kevin Warsh has been named as the new incoming Fed Chair. Mark takes your calls! Mark interviews economist Steve Moore. Steve discusses Taiwan’s strong economy compared to China, noting this as a possible motivation for China’s interest in Taiwan. He also points out that China receives more oil through the Strait of Hormuz than the U.S. does. Steve mentions the current global shortage of fertilizer and suggests that President Trump could consider lifting tariffs on fertilizer imports.
