Trump, Trade and Tariffs

Money Talking | Jun 29, 2018

With all the back and forth lately about trade and tariffs, you can’t be faulted for feeling a bit confused about where exactly the U.S. stands.

The Trump administration has already implemented tariffs on steel and aluminum, threatened other tariffs elsewhere, taken a lot of flack from other countries about it — including, critically, China and one of America’s closest allies, Canada — all while Trump and his administration make contradictory public statements on policy.

This week on Money Talking, Charlie Herman speaks with two experts, Rana Foroohar with the Financial Times and Rick Newman with Yahoo Finance, to keep track of where things stand and how the new policies will affect prices, companies and American workers.
