Examining the Economic and Legal Landscape of Tariffs and Immigration

Unpacking the political fallout from President Donald Trump’s pause on tariffs.

Tariffs are on. Tariffs are paused. Tariffs are making stock markets go wild. Where do we go from here?

Senior political reporter Aaron Blake talks with The Post’s global economics correspondent, David Lynch, and White House reporter Cat Zakrzewski about Trump’s mixed messaging on tariffs, whether the administration’s tariff pause is strategic, and where the policy whiplash leaves Wall Street and American small-business owners. 

Today’s show was produced by Rennie Svirnovskiy, with help from Ted Muldoon. It was edited by Reena Flores, Lucy Perkins with help from Annah Aschbrenner and mixed by Sean Carter.
