Care to invest in the U.S. during a trade war?

from Marketplace Morning Report · host Marketplace

President Donald Trump has tried to pressure foreign countries to invest in the U.S. by threatening tariffs.

We have a dispatch from this year's Investment Summit. Plus, some of Trump's latest tariffs have been deemed illegal. And: a better-than-expected jobs report and some slower-than-expected World Cup hotel bookings.
