from Simply Economics · host Simply News from Qurrent

In today's episode, we explore President Trump's announcement of new tariffs targeting major trading partners, aiming to rebalance trade relationships. We also delve into the implications of these tariffs on global trade and the potential for retaliatory measures. Meanwhile, gold prices have hit a record high, driven by geopolitical tensions and strong demand from central banks. Additionally, a CBS News poll reveals growing economic pessimism among Americans, with inflation and recession fears at the forefront. Join us as we unpack these significant developments and their impact on the global economy.
