Latest / Global Roaming with Geraldine Doogue and Hamish Macdonald
Why is Trump crashing the US economy?
Donald Trump's strategy on tariffs is inspired by the 'Gilded Age' of US history, when the federal government drew most of its income from taxes on foreign imports.
Now some of America's closest allies have been slapped with tariffs and there are growing risks of a trade war.
Guest: Justin Wolfers, professor of public policy and economics at the Gerald R. Ford School of Public Policy, University of Michigan
