Summary

Four months ago the world’s media gathered on the White House lawn for what the president billed as Liberation Day. The immediate impact was that many US stock owners were liberated from a lot of money as the markets reeled. But after many delays, downgrades and deals, the markets have recovered. A lot of people made some big predictions on Liberation Day, including on Uncensored - and today Piers Morgan reassembles some to find out who was right. Is America winning the trade war? Or could raging inflation and a recession still be on the cards? Here to discuss this and more is senior adviser to the US Agency for Global Media Kari Lake, founder and CEO of The Young Turks Cenk Uygur, Financial Times columnist Gillian Tett and NewsNation’s editor-at-large Geraldo Rivera.
