U.S. President Donald Trump's trade wars and other economic polices since his inauguration in January have helped wipe out some $4 trillion from U.S. stock markets. As of mid-March, the S&P 500 was more than 10 percent below its last record high. The idea some people had that tariffs would just be a threat by Trump, designed to get better trading terms from U.S. allies and adversaries, is flat-out wrong—at least for now. Adam and Cameron discuss what the impacts might be.

Every day, experts from around the globe present their arguments for solving the world’s biggest problems. And every day, these experts disagree in small and large ways. At Foreign Policy, our approach is to share a wide range of opinions, side by side, day by day. But what if people could hear those arguments tested, in real time, under pressure from an opposing view–by an international cast of diplomats, journalists, academics and activists?

That’s the idea behind Counterpoint, a new debate show from Foreign Policy, in partnership with the Doha Forum—hosted by FP deputy editor Sasha Polakow-Suransky.

On this episode, Sasha explores the question: Should the West Pressure Ukraine to Negotiate an End to the War?

He’s joined by Emma Ashford, a senior fellow at the Stimson Center and an assistant professor at Georgetown University, and Rajan Menon, the director of the grand strategy program at Defense Priorities and a senior research scholar at Columbia University.
