Summary

Chris Cuomo breaks down the truth about Trump’s tariff plan, explaining why it’s misleading economic policy that could fuel inflation rather than help American workers. He dives into how tariffs really work, the impact they’ve had in the past, and why targeting China, Mexico, and Canada could backfire on U.S. businesses and consumers. From Smoot-Hawley’s economic disaster to China’s retaliatory tariffs, Cuomo challenges the myths surrounding Trump’s trade rhetoric and explains why tariffs are often more about politics than economic success.
