Trump tariff deadline changes again: Will they finally arrive and what does it mean for NZ?
About this episode
The Trump tariffs are inching closer and closer towards becoming a reality.
While they were meant to kick into gear last week, they've been delayed again – this time to August 1.
Despite being accused of “chickening out”, Donald Trump has reignited the tariff talk through a series of letters and social media posts – announcing new duties on dozens of countries, if they don’t sign trade deals.
In the months since ‘Liberation Day’, only two countries have signed agreements with the US – so is it likely that dozens more will be signed in the next month? Or are we firmly in an era of tit for tat tariff wars, and economic uncertainty?
Today on The Front Page, NZ Herald business editor at large Liam Dann joins us to discuss the latest in the economic story that is dominating 2025.
