## Summary

EE Times editor-in-chief Brian Santo hosts a special briefing on the escalating U.S.-China trade war, featuring correspondents Junko Yoshida, George Leopold, and Nitin Dahad. The episode details the immediate impact of the Trump administration's executive order and the Entity List designation on Huawei, Google, and Infineon.
