Iran Possibly Not On Agenda: Lipsky on US-China Summit

Josh Lipsky, Vice President & Chair of International Economics at the Atlantic Council, suggests Iran will not be on the agenda when Presidents Trump & Xi meet because Trump wants to “come away with the visit with some deliverables.” Lipsky also talks about the impact China is feeling with the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, and if China comes into talks in a stronger position. Josh Lipsky speaks with Kailey Leinz and Joe Mathieu on the late edition of Bloomberg’s “Balance of Power.”
