Making sense of Trump’s tariffs u-turn

Defying the logic of decades of economic trade policy, Donald Trump had been doubling down on his hugely damaging reciprocal tariff plans. But, in an unforeseen turn of events and with the exception of China, a 90 pause has been initiated, which has given markets a welcome reprieve. Joining Bobby to make sense of it all is Peter Goodman, Global Economic Correspondent with The New York Times & author of ‘How the World Ran Out of Everything: Inside the Global Supply Chain’.
