Bull in a China Shop: Has Trump's tariff debacle done irreparable economic damage?
Manage episode 476162388 series 3583353
President Trump has been continuing his tornado of tariffs. Today, China was given a 104% tariff (naturally, this figure has changed in the few hours since we recorded). This has shocked the global economy, with stock markets around the world in fluctuation. But is this a tipping point? What recent global economic moments can we look at to guess what comes next? Is this anything like Brexit? Does it share similarities to India’s demonetisation? Emily Tamkin, Rohan Venkat, and Tom Hamilton discuss.
