Event Summary
Since President Donald Trump took office for his second term, he has imposed a flurry of tariffs that have reached historic levels. These include blanket tariffs against goods from all countries, which are being challenged at the Supreme Court. Renowned trade scholar Douglas A. Irwin joins host Anjali V. Bhatt to shed light on how monumental Trump’s tariffs are, the legal case against tariffs, and why Trump’s use of tariffs is different now than at any other point in history.
