Tariffs and Trade Uncertainty

This chapter explores the economic impact of tariffs imposed by the Trump administration, particularly on companies like Apple and Walmart that depend on Chinese imports. It highlights the decline of U.S. influence in global trade, the challenges facing domestic investment, and the potential restructuring of international economic relationships. Additionally, the discussion sheds light on how inflation and tariffs disproportionately affect working-class Americans, revealing a growing disconnect between leadership and the needs of ordinary citizens.
