Steve Bannon: Trump Is Waging ‘Economic Warfare' on the Chinese Communist Party This is the full version of Jan Jekielek's interview with Steve Bannon. The interview was originally released on Epoch TV on May 3, 2025. “Never before in history have two great trading entities ever engaged in outright economic warfare, like is being engaged today. And that's why I say we're living in historic times,” says Steve Bannon, former White House chief strategist during President Donald Trump's first administration and host of the “War Room” show. “It's not just tariffs. They're a tool. [Trump]'s reorganizing the world system of commerce and of trade,” Bannon says. In this episode, we dive into the U.S.–China trade war, Trump's tariff strategy, his first 100 days in office, and where America is headed in the weeks and months to come. “The next 100 days are going to be three times more intense, dramatic, and meaningful than the first 100 days,” Bannon says.
