YouTube Description
as posted by the channelDonald Trump’s sweeping tariffs on Canada, Mexico, and China took effect today, with China now facing a steep 20% tariff on its exports. In response, Beijing has fired back with its own retaliatory tariffs, sending shockwaves through global markets as stocks opened in the red.
So what’s the real goal behind these tariffs? We asked the experts in a live debate co-hosted with Council on Foreign Relations.
Scott Paul argues they are designed to reduce dependence on China and reward nations that align with American values. But Rana Mitter challenges this approach, asking: How will the U.S. develop the infrastructure needed to move away from free trade?
A critical debate on the future of trade—watch now.
