Secretary of Commerce – Since taking office as the U.S. Secretary of Commerce under the Biden administration, Gina Raimondo has turned the second-tier agency into a center of national security, manufacturing, and job creation. Correspondent Lesley Stahl meets Raimondo to talk about the international "chip war" after Russia invaded Ukraine, the escalating trade tensions with China over U.S. restrictions on the sale of leading-edge semiconductors, and U.S. jobs hanging in the balance.
