About this listen

Tariffs aren’t just taxes on “them.” In 2025 they behave like a consumer tax, a supply-chain shock, and a geopolitical bargaining chip—all at once. In this episode we break the myths (do foreigners really pay?), track how costs pass through to prices, unpack retaliation and rerouting, and explore the politics and motives behind broad tariff plans. You’ll hear clear examples, what changed after this year’s legal challenges, and practical signals to watch in the months ahead (EVs, batteries, rules-of-origin, and more).What you’ll learn- Who actually pays—and why pass-through hits consumers and downstream firms- Why trade deficits don’t “vanish,” they shift- Winners vs. losers: upstream protection vs. downstream pain- Retaliation, front-loading, and the uncertainty tax on supply chains- Smarter tools than blanket tariffs: targeted remedies, price floors, real resilience#Trump #Tariffs #TradePolicy #GlobalEconomy #SupplyChains #Inflation #USChina #EUChina #EVs #Manufacturing #2025 #Podcast
