Is global trade facing its biggest crisis since the Cold War? As the EU and US impose tariffs on electric vehicles and other goods from China, the world is increasingly taking sides when it comes to trade. Politicians are looking to gain an edge in a huge election year and the Red Sea shutdown is dragging on and causing congestion at ports around the world. The president of the European Union Chamber of Commerce in China tells Aaron Heslehurst why the balance is wrong. Plus, the CEO of German shipping giant Hapag-Lloyd, Rolf Habben Jansen, explains how he’s navigating the challenges of keeping all the goods we want moving.

And in Aaron’s last show for the ±«Óãtv, there’s a special goodbye from the director general of the World Trade Organization, Dr Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, as she explains the impact all these trade tensions are having on the health of the global economy.
