Trump Orders More Tariffs After SCOTUS Ruling
In This Episode
The Supreme Court ruled 6 to 3 on Friday that President Donald Trump overstepped his authority when he invoked sweeping tariffs using a 1970s emergency statute. The decision was a major blow to Trump’s tariff policy, which is basically his entire economic agenda. But for Trump, it means just one thing: more tariffs! So to learn what’s next for our terrible tariff trajectory, we spoke with David J. Lynch. He’s the global economics correspondent at The Washington Post and the author of The World’s Worst Bet: How the Globalization Gamble Went Wrong (And What Would Make It Right).
And in headlines, the US and Iran prepare for high-stakes talks later this week, Global Entry becomes a casualty of the partial government shutdown, and a check-in on the President’s approval ratings before his State of the Union address.
