Manage episode 477766118 series 2428755
P.M. Edition for April 18. Some U.S. businesses are tacking an extra fee onto customer orders—and attributing them specifically to the man in the Oval Office. WSJ business reporter Natasha Khan tells us about the “this tariff isn’t our fault” fee. And as financial stress mounts, chains that cater to the budget-conscious are seeing more of a new class of shoppers. CFO Journal reporter Jennifer Williams tells us how that’s reflecting shifts for shoppers at all income levels. Plus, President Trump has replaced the acting IRS commissioner he appointed earlier this week. Pierre Bienaimé hosts.
