"Balance of Power: Late Edition" focuses on the intersection of politics and global business. On today's show, Melanie Hart, Atlantic Council Global China Hub Senior Director, discusses whether or not the meeting between President Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping was successful. Representative Marlin Stutzman (R-IN), says China reopening to US beef is a "big deal" for farmers and calls President Trump's Beijing trip "one of the most consequential" of his presidency. Representative Jake Auchincloss (D-MA) says Xi Jinping is projecting confidence at the US-China summit and urges the US to “watch what he does” after President Trump said Xi would not send weapons to Iran.
