Trump and the Sunshine State

from In the Balance · host BBC World Service

Florida was split down the middle in the US presidential election. Exactly four months into his first term, Donald Trump is now mired in controversy, over the sacking of FBI director James Comey and the investigation into Russian hacking. Politics has eclipsed the president's economic agenda in many areas. Ed Butler travels to the sunshine state of Florida to ask Trump supporters and opponents whether they think he can deliver on his promise to boost economic growth and improve living standards. Ed also asks Harvard economics professor Ken Rogoff for his assessment of whether the president can start to make good on his economic pledges. (picture: A construction worker in Miami, Florida.
