## Resource

President Donald Trump is heading to Beijing this week for a major summit with Chinese President Xi Jinping. The visit is mainly about trying to stabilize U.S./China relations after months of tension over trade, Taiwan, technology, and the Iran war. Michael Austin, Project 21 Ambassador at the National Center for Public Policy Research & Professor of Economics at Washburn University in Topeka, Kansas, joins Newell to speculate on what may come of the meeting between the two leaders.
