Trump's New Proposed Tariffs

Trade Bites

Next week, Americans will go to the polls and a new President will be elected. This podcast looks at the trade policy proposal of one candidate, the Republican Donald Trump, to put flat-rate tariffs of up to 20% on all US imports and a 60% tariff on all Chinese imports. What would the impact be on US businesses and consumers? Which sectors are set to be most affected? What would such tariffs mean for transatlantic and global trade? Do they have popular support in the US? Providing forensic insight into all these questions are Nicolò Tamberi (CITP) and Rodney Ludema (Georgetown University), together with our host Chris Horseman.
