The president announced a freeze in the escalating trade war with the EU

After the Commerce Department announced Friday that the economy grew at a rate of 4.1%, the panelists discussed the impact of the president’s trade policies on the economy. The conversation also turned to the freeze on U.S.-EU trade tensions and the bombshell claims made by former Trump lawyer Michael Cohen.
