July 13th, 2022. Chinese COVID Policies Create Opportunity for American Manufacturing. The (Subtle) Battle for the South Pacific.

It’s July 13th. You’re listening to the President’s Daily Brief. Your morning intel starts now. ------ First up, A major steel hub in China has gone into lockdown this morning over one case of COVID. We’re going to discuss the implications of that Zero COVID policy in China and how, if our leaders handle it right, we could use it to launch a new era of American manufacturing. As always, I’m keeping an eye out for developing stories. Put these two on your radar. First, the Battle for the South Pacific is back in the news. The Biden Administration is trying to regain America’s power in that region that’s critically important in defending the homeland — especially Hawaii. I’ve got an update shortly. Finally, some big economic news coming out in the next few hours. We’ve got numbers from the Consumer Price Index telling us whether inflation is getting better or worse. I’ve got some projections — and even a bit of good news. All up next on the President's Daily Brief. ------ Please remember to subscribe if you enjoyed this episode of the President's Daily Brief.
