The UnWoke Show Season 3 Episode 98: "Trump Tariffs Explained: Liberation Day or Trade War?"

President Donald Trump's declaration of "Liberation Day" marked the beginning of a sweeping new tariff strategy designed to reshape U.S. trade policy and redefine America's economic relationships around the world. In this episode, we examine the administration's tariff agenda, the goals behind the new trade policies, and the reactions from business leaders, economists, lawmakers, and America's trading partners. We explore the arguments that tariffs can strengthen domestic manufacturing and reduce reliance on foreign imports, as well as concerns about higher consumer prices, global trade tensions, and the potential impact on the U.S. economy. As the debate over trade policy continues, this episode breaks down the facts, competing perspectives, and the potential long-term consequences of one of the Trump administration's most significant economic initiatives.   Show Notes https://www.cnn.com/2025/03/31/business/liberation-day-announcement-trump/index.html https://apnews.com/article/trump-new-tariffs-liberation-day-import-taxes-118d73f50e5133ef3d9598aed6661a6c   Social Media https://x.com/UnWokeTheShow https://bsky.app/profile/theunwokeshow.bsky.social https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61591818194574   Podcast links https://theunwokeshow.podbean.com/ https://open.spotify.com/show/27rkGZYhccSF8stUzzGxaI https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-unwoke-show/id1686015698 https://goodpods.com/podcasts/the-unwoke-show-309196 https://www.youtube.com/@TheUnWokeShow/videos?app=desktop   Feedback [email protected]
