Podcast: How do Trump supporters feel about tariffs?
The tariffs are on. The tariffs are paused.
President Donald Trump’s second term has been dominated by a jarring back-and-forth of American trade policy. Trump says the aim of the high tariffs is to encourage companies to move their manufacturing and production to the U.S. to create jobs and lower prices. However, many economists argue that tariffs only raise prices for Americans.
News editor Tom Davidson is here to discuss the effects of Trump’s tariff policy, the potential effectiveness of the measures, and how Trump supporters feel as he nears the 100-day mark.
