Published 1 month, 2 weeks ago
Description
Ryan Young, Senior Economist at the Competitive Enterprise Institute, joins Newell to discuss the latest tariff controversy after President Trump imposed a 50% tariff on Canada over wildfire smoke affecting the U.S. Young argues the proposal is another example of using trade policy for unrelated disputes and says Congress should reclaim its constitutional authority over tariffs. Is this serious economic policy or just another negotiating tactic?
