Scott Lincicome is a senior fellow in Economic Studies at Cato Institute where he writes on international and domestic economic issues, including international trade, industrial policy and manufacturing and global supply chains. Scott joins David on Macro Musings to discuss what we've learned so far about the so-called China shock and where we are today in the trade war.

The long running trade dispute between Airbus and Boeing has wide-reaching implications, including an impact on the price of other goods including British goods such as bed linen, luxury clothing, biscuits, whisky and other alcoholic tipples. Why? After a recent World Trade Organisation ruling against Airbus, the US government decided to levy import taxes on imports from the EU including from the UK, given that the UK is a partner in Airbus with France, Germany and Spain. How did we arrive at the present situation? Why is the US not showing more goodwill towards the UK, given the "special relationship"? As the UK and US negotiate a FTA, how much faith can we put in early harvest measures? IEA Academic and Research Director Professor Syed Kamall is joined by CEO of Competere Shanker Singham and the Cato Institute's Dan Ikenson to discuss the Boeing-Airbus battle, tariff retaliation and the UK-US FTA.

This panel will identify the low-hanging fruit, the sacred cows, and everything in between to provide a better understanding of the issues under negotiation, from the easiest to most difficult and consequential.
