The latest tariffs are due to take effect this week, but many of the details are still uncertain. We discuss what may be coming, why congressional Republicans aren't pushing back against tariffs some of them oppose, and the effects of Trump's decision to fire the head of the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
This episode: political correspondent Ashley Lopez, White House correspondent Danielle Kurtzleben, and chief economics correspondent Scott Horsley.
