In this inaugural episode of The Deep Dive Podcast, editor Mike King explains why war in Ukraine is not the only global trade disruptor in March 2022.

Jon Gold, vice president, supply chain and customs policy at the National Retail Federation
Lee Klaskow, senior analyst for transportation and logistics at Bloomberg Intelligence
