Tariffs, Recession, and Monetary Policy

On this week’s episode of Trumponomics, we discuss what the rollout of President Donald Trump’s tariff plan has taught us about the Administration's economic strategy and the future of the US economy. In Trump’s first term, market participants could count on the President adjusting policy if it seemed to be hurting the stock market. Now recession and inflation risks are rising and both the stock market and the US sovereign bond market are flashing red but it’s not clear that the President and his advisors even care.

Host Stephanie Flanders, Bloomberg’s head of government and economics, is joined by senior editor Ed Harrison, author of Bloomberg’s Everything Risk newsletter and Bloomberg’s senior national political correspondent, Nancy Cook.
