I'm your host, Greg Sargent. By all indications, President Trump will announce this week that he'll impose sweeping new global

tariffs on imports across the board.

Though we don't know the details, congressional Republicans are already scrambling wildly

to try to protect their states and districts from the fallout. Meanwhile, a Fox News poll

finds that Trump is tanking on the economy, with the public turning against tariffs in particular,

and another poll from the Associated Press also has terrible news for the president on this front.

We feel compelled to point out that all of that negative fallout has already kicked in even

before the tariffs have started. So how much worse could this all get? We're talking about all this

today with Jared Bernstein, former chair of President Biden's Council of Economic Advisers,

and now a visiting scholar at Stanford. He has a new piece on his substact predicting the

consequences could be quite dire. Thanks for coming on, Jared. Thank you for inviting me.

It's a very important topic. Indeed. So the latest is that on Wednesday, on Liberation Day, as Trump says, he's scheduled to

announce his tariffs.

What do we know about what Trump's going to announce and what do you expect on the way

of specifics, Jared?

Well, the answer to what we know about what Donald Trump is going to announce is always

going to be vague by definition because he's just

been lurching around on this. But there's a possibility that we'll see higher tariffs on China,

tariffs on Canada and Mexico, on steel and aluminum, on auto parts and cars from many different places. And the largest increase

of it should occur would be reciprocal tariffs, and that would be on many different countries

with whom we trade. We are talking about across-the-board tariffs on Canada and Mexico, right?
