The REAL Impact of Global Tariffs

"We have really pissed off the whole world."

Nobel laureate and economist Paul Krugman joins Mehdi Hasan in this Zeteo town hall to discuss the impact of tariffs on the global economy, the dangers of trade wars on everyday consumers, and what Donald Trump is trying to achieve.

”[The] stock market is not the economy… But the point is actually that it's a symptom of something which is much more important, which is that if we don't actually have a recession, we're certainly going to be seeing a really bad year for the economy. And this is really the first time in history that a president has caused, you know, a terrible economy.”
