Part 4/6:
The conversation shifted toward China's role in the global economy, with O'Leary suggesting that the U.S. is currently engaged in an economic war with China. He characterized this relationship as complex and multifaceted, indicating it encompasses both tariff strategies and potential military implications.

O'Leary's analysis reiterates that Trump has transformed the global economic discourse, requiring nations to conform to American demands for access to its vast market. They must show accountability for their actions, or they will encounter barriers to trade.
