Members of Donald Trump’s incoming economic team are discussing slowly ramping up tariffs month by month while the president-elect has said he would create an “External Revenue Service” tasked with collecting tariffs on foreign imports. Chinese officials are bracing for the threat of another trade war, despite a trade surplus that soared to a record last year. Bloomberg’s Rosalind Mathieson hosts a series of Live Q&As on the global reaction to Trump’s win and what the foreign policy implications are for other countries and leaders. In this session, she’s joined by Bill Faries, Jenni Marsh and Brendan Murray to discuss how Trump’s trade policies on China could have long-lasting consequences on the global economy.
