Video and Transcript for Is There Even a Trade War?

Below you can find a YouTube post of the recording for Episode #42, Is There Even a Trade War?.

From campaigning, to liberation day, through to now, Trump has been using threats of tariffs, actual tariffs and claims of tariffs to extract money and present himself as strong in the eyes of his maga followers. Pretending to be practicing statecraft via trade negotiations, when in fact there appears to be little strategy, is personally and professionally galling to today’s guest, Lori Wallach, Director of Rethink Trade at the American Economic Liberties Project and a senior advisor to the Citizens Trade Campaign. David, Matt, and Lori go over the details of Trump’s “trade strategy” and break down the good, the bad, and the irrelevant. This is the most insightful and no pulled punches analysis of our current trade situation you’ll find.

This is not as heavily edited as the podcast is, it’s closer to the raw video of our taping session. We also have a rough transcript for you.

We have set up a YouTube channel that you can subscribe to for all future episodes.

Thanks for watching the show! We’ll have another one for you soon.
