Subscribe on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC2DHAQOeEg-Z-4trARDXHRA?sub_confirmation=1 President Trump has outlined the full plan for his anticipated tariffs he is inflicting on the global economy in a speech from the White House Rose Garden. Key nations for US trade, such as China and the EU, have been hit with huge tariff increases. The UK has escaped with 10% tariffs, the lowest rate President Trump is imposing. Keir Starmer and the Labour government will feel vindicated that their charm offensive with the president paid off. So what will the effect on the global economy be? Are the President's calculations correct? Andrew Marr is joined by economist and journalist Duncan Weldon to unpack it all. 📚 READ: Trump's tariffs are designed to extend American power - Will Dunn https://www.newstatesman.com/international-politics/2025/04/trump-tariffs-american-power-liberation-day 🙋‍♀️ ASK a question We answer listener questions every Friday.
