Are Donald Trump’s tariffs working? | The Economist Insider

Donald Trump insists that his tariffs are a triumph. These “beautiful” duties are going to make America richer, he says—but what is their real impact? Six months on from “Liberation Day”, Zanny Minton Beddoes, our editor-in-chief, and a panel of The Economist’s top editors weigh the consequences of Mr Trump’s trade war. Join them as they review the global response to the tariffs, explain corporate America’s reluctance to speak out and consider the lasting effects on global commerce and American prosperity. Zanny unpicked some of these issues with Mark Carney, Canada’s prime minister, in a recent interview. Highlights from their discussion will feature in this episode. Their complete conversation will be available to watch after the show.
