The Nanson Geopolitical Series: War with Iran and Weaponization of Interdependence

Steve, Taimur Baig, Ethan Wu, and Deborah Elms return for the latest in the geopolitical series I host for The Nanson.

While the US and China continue a period of no further escaltion in their trade war, Trump moves forward on tariffs for the rest of Asia.

China has neither overplayed its hand nor shot itself in the foot, sitting stronger today more because of US actions than its own foresight, but still with all the challenegs the region has with them.

Forecasting the economic impact remains fraught. For now, the regional overall absorbs the shocks in stride from the closure of the Strair of Hormuz. But predicting what’s next can be forecast very differently.

Even in these fraught times, important to bring everyone together in person for both a serious discussion but still find time to laugh.
