US President Donald Trump’s tough talk about China and tariffs
can be traced back in large part to economist Peter Navarro. A
well-known China hawk, he has written books arguing Beijing poses
a threat to the US economy and its national security.

Navarro is a loyalist who has served as a key trade adviser in
both Trump administrations. In between, he spent four months
behind bars for refusing to comply with a Congressional subpoena
tied to the Jan. 6, 2021 attack on the US Capitol.

It is Navarro who stands behind Trump’s sweeping tariffs against
China and other nations, levies that have in some cases raised
prices for US companies and consumers.

In this conversation with Mishal Husain, recorded in Bloomberg's
Washington studio, Navarro discusses the US relationship with
China and an upcoming Supreme Court ruling on the
administration’s use of emergency powers to levy tariffs. They
also look ahead to this year’s midterm elections and back at the
controversial Vanity Fair profile of Trump Chief of Staff Susie
Wiles.
