The Valley Current®: What Trump and Xi Can Actually Trade

The cameras are rolling, the red carpets are out, and Beijing is presenting the Trump-Xi summit as a symbol of stability. But behind the carefully staged optics sits a far more complicated negotiation. In this episode of The Valley Current®, Jack Russo breaks down the quiet power struggle unfolding beneath the headlines, where AI chips, rare earth minerals, Taiwan, Iranian oil, and global supply chains have all become bargaining chips between the world's two largest powers. Every public gesture carries strategic weight, and every concession comes with political risk back home. As both sides try to manage economic pressure, trade restrictions, and rising geopolitical tension, the summit begins to look less like a breakthrough and more like a temporary pause in a much larger conflict.  Jack Russo Managing Partner [email protected] www.computerlaw.com https://www.linkedin.com/in/jackrusso "Every Entrepreneur Imagines a Better World"®️
