About this episode

US President Donald Trump’s tariff strategy is reshaping trade, diplomacy, and the American economy. The levies have sparked turmoil in financial markets, but are already bringing in billions of dollars in revenue for the US Treasury. So far, the global economy has held up better than many economists expected, but how long will that last? Bloomberg’s Trade Tsar Brendan Murray joins host Stephen Carroll to discuss economic wins, diplomatic risks, and political payoffs of the most aggressive US trade policy in almost a century.
