Host: Albert Chiu
Since the announcement of his so-called "reciprocal tariffs", U.S. President Trump has criticized allies and adversaries alike on the issue of trade. However, he has often directed his harshest verbal attacks at the United States’ closest partners, including the European Union and Japan. Among other complaints, Trump has accused Brussels and Tokyo of not importing enough U.S.-made automobiles. He has also suggested that Europeans’ healthcare and security is being unfairly subsidized by the United States. What merit, if any, is there to Trump’s allegations? How could global supply chains be affected by Trump’s economic decisions? And is the U.S. losing key leverage against China? In this episode, we discuss U.S.-EU trade, Trump’s foreign policy, and the emerging world order.
