About this episode
President Trump is threatening more tariffs on Mexico and the EU, in addition to last week’s threats to Canada. CNBC’s Megan Cassella reports on the likelihood of those tariffs taking effect and the impact the threats have on economic alliances, and National Economic Council Director Kevin Hassett discusses the tariffs’ impact on the U.S. economy. One of the potential contenders for next Federal Reserve Chair, Hassett discusses the White House’s frustration with sitting Fed Chair Jay Powell, as well as the independence of the central bank. Plus, bank earnings are on deck this week, and Kraft Heinz may be planning to spin condiments off from foods.
