Temporary Tariff Pause with China Deal or Deception

In this morning's segment, Lee and his co-host unpack the weekend's surprise announcement of a U.S.–China trade agreement, which temporarily lowers reciprocal tariffs as both nations enter a 90-day negotiation period. Despite headlines touting it as a breakthrough, they question the sincerity of China's commitments and highlight deep-rooted concerns—from intellectual property theft to national security threats. Featuring statements from trade officials and critical perspectives from figures like Secretary of State Marco Rubio, the discussion challenges the optimism surrounding the so-called "deal" and explores the broader dangers of U.S. dependence on China.
