Trump鈥檚 Tariff U-turn
But the trade war with China continues.
The president has paused the introduction of higher tariffs on goods from most countries, but continues to ramp up the trade war with China.
What caused the change of heart? Nick speaks to the 成人快手鈥檚 Economics Editor Faisal Islam. (2:19)
And before the news about the pause on those tariffs broke Nick was joined by Carla Sands, a former economic advisor to Donald Trump who was US Ambassador to Denmark, to find out what he is trying to achieve with his trade policy. Does the president want things to be made in America or are the tariffs designed to make money by putting a tax on the price of imported goods? (15:18)
He also asked her about the row between Elon Musk and Trump鈥檚 trade advisor Pete Navarro after the Tesla boss called him a 鈥渕oron鈥.
