Leslie is rejoined by Scott Paul, President of the Alliance for American Manufacturing (AAM), a partnership established by some of America’s leading manufacturers and the United Steelworkers union.

The two discuss the latest on the tit for tat tariffs that the U.S. and China are placing on each others' goods entering their respective countries. Also, more importantly, they discuss the real world effects of these policies on the American people.

They also touch on a great new piece by the AAM titled, "America’s Steel Communities Make a Comeback: Unfair trade left them devastated, but trade action has given these towns renewed hope." (Link here: http://americanmanufacturing.org/campaign/entry/americas-steel-communities-make-a-comeback)
