WTH is going on with the China trade war? Sen. Rob Portman explains it all

Subscribe to What the Hell Is Going OnSubscribe

What’s going on with the US-China trade war? And how is China’s manipulation of the global trading system hurting working-class Americans? Is Donald Trump just a protectionist? And is he taking the GOP with him?

To answer these questions, Danielle Pletka and Marc Thiessen headed to Capitol Hill to interview Senator Rob Portman (R-OH). The three also address Trump’s use of tariffs, whether the president will win reelection in Ohio, and the likelihood of the new US-Mexico-Canada Agreement passing in Congress.

Senator Rob Portman is a US Senator from Ohio, former US Trade Representative, and former Director of the Office of Management and Budget. He is also a member of the Senate Finance Committee, the Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, and the Committee on Foreign Relations.
