Steve Bannon's Warning On China's Trade War

Published | Video Starts at 42:15

Populists and economic nationalists are not anti trade. They're anti this radical concept of free trade when you're trading with a totalitarian mercantilist society. Right? We want what Trump wants and what he said from day one is fair trade and reciprocity. Okay? Reciprocity. And I think now we're going to get down to it with China. (42:15–42:25)
