In der neuen Folge sprechen Dr. Karin Kneissl und Flavio von Witzleben über die politischen und wirtschaftlichen Erschütterungen der vergangenen sieben Tage: den umstrittenen Zoll-Deal zwischen Donald Trump und der EU – und warum er, trotz gefeiertem "Erfolg" in Brüssel, für die deutsche Wirtschaft ein Milliardengrab werden könnte.
