About this listen

Ever wondered how trade wars shape domestic politics? In Episode 15, we explore Fetzer and Schwarz's insightful analysis of Trump's trade wars, revealing how countries like China and the EU strategically targeted retaliatory tariffs to impact U.S. politics directly. Were these tariffs designed purely for economic retaliation, or did they aim to pressure Trump's voter base?

Join us to unpack how international trade disputes become tools of political influence, merging economics, elections, and global power dynamics.
