ICYMI: Trump's 'Liberation Day' Tariffs Are Almost Here

1A

About this episode

President Donald Trump's "Liberation Day" of reciprocal tariffs is almost here.

On April 2, Trump is rolling out a plan that would charge a blanket dollar for dollar tax on goods coming into the U.S. Trump clarified Sunday that this policy would apply to all countries instead of a more focused list.

The uncertainty around and scope of these tariffs (and a potential trade war) has spooked Wall Street and raised fears of inflation.

We discuss America's financial future.
