On Today's Show

On GPS at 10 a.m. and 1 p.m. ET on CNN:

First, Fareed gives his take on President Trump's trade war with China—and why his tariffs won't work.

"There have been many efforts in recent decades to help industries in decline in America. I can think of no case where tariffs have worked to reverse that decline, except temporarily," Fareed says. Recent examples show that tariffs cost America and fail to prevent job losses in the long run.

Trump's trade strategy "has turned into a highly politicized, out-of-control wrecking ball that could end up destroying a system that has brought peace and prosperity to the world for 75 years," Fareed says.

Next, should American law enforcement approach domestic, white-nationalist terrorism the same way it approaches foreign terrorism? Fareed will ask former Homeland Security secretary Michael Chertoff, co-founder and executive chairman of The Chertoff Group. Then, we'll look more closely at the white-nationalist movement in America, as University of Chicago Prof. Kathleen Belew, author of Bring the War Home: The White Power Movement and Paramilitary America, delves into the ideology that has driven American white supremacists for decades.

We'll also appraise the US-China trade war—and discuss who might suffer most under Trump's tariffs—with former US Treasury secretary Larry Summers. Our What in the World segment will then examine the war in Yemen and how the UAE's withdrawal might affect millions of people suffering through that conflict.

Daniel Pink, author of When: The Scientific Secrets of Perfect Timing, will discuss findings like the best time of day to see a doctor and when in life people are happiest; and finally, we'll look at how American life expectancy stacks up against other countries.
