Trade War? Going Tit-for-Tat on Tariffs

The Takeaway

From last weekend’s G-7 to the summit with North Korea this week, a lot has been happening on the world’s stage. Up first, we have a roundtable discussion about President Trump’s economic diplomacy; Senator Pat Toomey and Congressman Kevin Cramertalk about the latest threat of increased tariffs; we take a look at the history of the Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act of 1930; plus, we have a conversation with a pork producer and a corn farmer in Iowa who supported Trump but are now worried as trade tensions escalate.
