Economist analyzes fallout of Trump’s sweeping tariffs

Season 2025 Episode 214 | 5m 26s

The White House’s announcement Friday that it will impose hefty tariffs on imports from nearly 70 countries next week triggered the worst day on Wall Street in more than a month. Those economic jitters were compounded by a weaker than expected jobs report, which prompted Trump to fire the Bureau of Labor Statistics commissioner who produced it. Economist Ernie Tedeschi joins Ali Rogin to discuss.
