In episode 240 of our podcast, hosts Adrian and Renaud dive into a critical discussion just 12 days before the U.S. presidential election. With the possibility of Donald Trump being re-elected, they explore the implications for U.S.-China relations, focusing on trade dynamics and manufacturing.

The episode delves into Trump's provocative strategies, such as the potential increase in tariffs and his vocal stance on decoupling from China.

They also discuss the challenges and opportunities for U.S. manufacturers in adapting to these potential changes.
