It seems the whole approach to global trade is being redrawn. Donald Trump wanted to do less trade with China before the pandemic, and now with the Ukraine invasion the west wants to do less – preferably nothing – with Russia.

Phil Dobbie talks to Steve Keen about the impact this would have on the West.
