Swamp Notes: Trump’s ‘you break it, you buy it’ moment
Manage episode 479113736 series 2455123
Just a few weeks ago, US President Donald Trump was ready to levy tariffs on basically every nation. Today, many of those tariffs have been paused or tempered. Additionally, this week he promised he will not be firing Federal Reserve chair Jay Powell, despite his earlier criticism. Should we expect more backstepping from Trump in the face of economic data? And what do the voters think of it all? FT economics editor Sam Fleming joins alongside Jon McHenry, vice-president of the conservative pollster North Star Opinion Research.
Mentioned in this podcast:
Trump claims to have received call from Xi Jinping and to have cut ‘200 deals’ on trade
Donald Trump says he has ‘no intention’ of firing Jay Powell
