It's certainly something special to watch.

Tonight, we'll try to make sense of Trump's trade war and Trump himself. Next.

Good evening and welcome to Washington Week. So, just like you, I'm trying to make sense of all of this.

My main question, is there any possible way these new tariffs make things better for average Americans?

It's hard to find an economist right now who answers yes, but this is a question we'll explore

director of the editorial board at the New York Times.

Kayla Taushy is the senior White House correspondent for CNN,

and our old friend Nancy Yusuf is a national security correspondent at the Wall Street Journal.

I don't mean you're old, by the way.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

I want to talk about a couple of national security issues. Nancy, you're in the Pentagon.
