Thomas from Bridgeport, RI writes Well Trump is back from his China trip and as expected he is touting his great success. I did note that this week President Putin visited China and not only did he also get the red-carpet treatment but Xi personally showed up to welcome him, unlike when Trump arrived. For me that spoke volumes. From what we’ve been told Trump was ambiguous regarding Tiwan and didn’t really accomplish much. One of your previous episodes the panel was thinking that we need to keep an eye on the CEOs and the moves they make before we can start to understand what really went on in the talks. I did see where China will buy 200 aircraft from Boing and a deal that includes a reduction to US tariffs on Chinese goods and a pause to Beijing's restrictions on exports of rare earth minerals and magnets. What is the panels take on the trump China visit and have you seen any CEO moves that might be of interest?
