Tune in here to this Tuesdays edition of the Brett Winterble Show! 

We’re joined by Gordon G. Chang from Newsmax to discuss President Donald Trump’s upcoming summit with Xi Jinping and the growing tensions involving China, Iran, and global energy markets. Gordon explains why this meeting differs from most diplomatic summits, arguing that both nations are actively applying pressure on one another ahead of the talks. He also outlines China’s ongoing economic struggles and why he believes President Trump should take an aggressive negotiating approach with Beijing.

The conversation shifts to Iran’s oil exports into China, the strategic importance of the Strait of Hormuz, and concerns over Chinese support flowing into Tehran. Gordon and Brett also discuss Pakistan’s role in regional negotiations, the importance of maintaining strong ties with Gulf allies, and why the United States must continue coordinating closely with nations in the GCC as tensions continue escalating across the Middle East.
