How will Trump's trade wars impact the War in Ukraine?
What does the trade deal between the US and Europe mean for Ukraine?
What about US-China trade relations and potential US secondary sanctions?
And what happens to the dollar and euro?

To answer these questions, I had the pleasure of speaking with Dr. Michael Strain, a globally renowned macroeconomics and trade expert at the American Enterprise Institute. Mike often writes in the Financial Times, New York Times, Washington Post, Bloomberg, and other media. 

Dr. Michael Strain, Director of Economic Policy Studies and the Arthur F. Burns Scholar in Political Economy at the American Enterprise Institute. His research and writing span a wide range of areas, including labor markets, public finance, social policy, and macroeconomics. He holds a PhD in economics from Cornell University.

Dr. Strain writes frequently for the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, the Washington Post, the Financial Times, Bloomberg Opinion, and National Review, among other outlets. He is a columnist for Project Syndicate.

Dr. Strain has testified before Congress and is a frequent guest on radio and television, regularly interviewed by CNBC, MSNBC, NPR, and others.

Listen in to hear Mike's "cautiously optimistic" view of Trump's trade and security policies and how they will help Ukraine. Also be sure to catch his unconventional outlook for the end of the war!
