Listen "‘No Upside’ to Trump tariffs || Insiders On Background"
Episode Synopsis
Around the world the impact of Donald Trump’s tariffs have been hotly debated this week. While the Australian Government has decided not to impose any retaliatory measures, other countries have hit back with reciprocal tariffs - escalating the risk of a trade war and fueling inflation globally. But how is this playing in Donald Trump’s own backyard? David Speers interviews the Director of Economic Policy Studies at the American Enterprise Institute, Michael Strain about what this means for the US economy and how domestic dissatisfaction and political pressure could motivate the Trump administration to overturn their policy.
