Episode Details

Trump’s administration is preparing a sweeping new wave of tariffs targeting sixty countries, with duties ranging from ten to twelve point five percent, as the existing ten percent tariff set to expire this Friday. The move follows earlier steep tariffs on Canada and Brazil, and is justified by investigations into forced labor and excess manufacturing capacity — with the EU, China, and Japan among those under scrutiny. Despite internal pushback from advisors urging diplomacy and adherence to trade agreements, the administration is leveraging existing trade laws after Supreme Court setbacks. Economic sentiment at home remains weak, and global energy markets are already strained by Iran tensions, further complicating the rollout. While some goods like beef and coffee are exempted, officials are still eyeing steeper duties — and quietly advising negotiation over confrontation.
