Trade Wars

This week has been packed with major political and economic developments, and in this episode of New Frontiers, host Paul Johnson is joined by Bob Robb and Henry Thompson to break down the biggest stories shaping America. Trump’s surprise tariff announcement on Canada, Mexico, and China sent shockwaves through the stock market, reigniting fears of a trade war and economic instability. Meanwhile, the growing DEI backlash has led corporations and universities to rethink diversity policies, as Trump continues to blame DEI for government inefficiencies. The panel also dives into the U.S. budget deficit, federal spending cuts, and Elon Musk’s role in government reform, questioning whether these changes will lead to long-term benefits or political turmoil.
