Trump’s New Moves: Tariffs, Immigration, and the GOP’s Test

In this episode, we look at three big developments with real economic impact. First, President Trump’s decision to roll back tariffs on key food imports amid rising price concerns. Then, his unexpected turn in support of expanding high-skilled immigration—what that means for U.S. competitiveness and the labor market. And finally, with Washington back to work, Republicans face a critical moment: can they turn promises into policies that actually make life more affordable? We unpack the politics, the strategy, and what comes next.
