The Lack of Intelligence in Trump’s “America First”
EA on TVP World: “Trump is Acting Like a Mafia Boss”
I joined Ireland’s RTE Radio 1 on Tuesday to anticipate the damage from Donald Trump’s announcement of tariffs, possibly across all countries and all sectors.
Irish MEP Barry Cowen and I discuss the scale of the economic downturn — projected at a $1.4 trillion loss in the event of sweeping US tariffs and retaliation by other countries — and how the European Union should respond.
We also take apart the political rhetoric and deceptions of Trump and his senior advisors, exposing the economic nonsense.
The other guest is Trump spokesperson Jennifer Ewing.
“Imports That Cannot Be Very Easily Replaced”
EA’s David Dunn spoke further with Turkey’s TRT World about the likely damage of Donald Trump’s new tariffs:
There are large sections of the American economy which are dependent on imports that cannot be very easily replaced, for example, the integration and reliance of the auto industry on Canadian and Mexican components.
