About this episode
Over the weekend, President Trump told retailers to “eat the tariffs” after Walmart warned of price hikes spurred by the trade war.

Also in this episode: stablecoins inch closer to bank distribution, turbine backlog slows energy sector growth and we get some advice on what to buy before more tariffs kick in.
