WNYC | May 23, 2025

President Trump announced plans to levy 50 percent tariffs on goods imported from the European Union, and on iPhones not made in the U.S., causing stock markets to tumble. We look at the impact of the president's shifting trade policies on the market.

Then, the challenges of bringing some manufacturing jobs to the U.S., and we bid farewell to a podcast stalwart.

This podcast: voting correspondent Miles Parks, chief economics correspondent Scott Horsley, senior political editor and correspondent Domenico Montanaro, and political correspondent Susan Davis.
