Were Trump Tariffs a SCAM All Along?!

As Donald Trump announced a “pause” on his tariffs policy, his own trade negotiator was being grilled by Congress. Who knew what, and when? Did Trump insiders have advance knowledge of the reversal — and use it to their advantage? Or was Trump flying solo, leaving his team in the dark? Trump is trying to spin the tariff U-turn as a strategic win. But Wall Street's reaction — with stock markets soaring — suggests the opposite: that the tariff trauma is over. Has Trump just boxed himself in? And will anyone trust his next move? Later in the episode: Trump is now launching investigations into two former officials, accusing them of treason for speaking the truth about the 2020 election. His revenge campaign continues. Plus, Lewis travels to Scunthorpe, ahead of a major decision on the future of British steel. #trump #trumptariffs #tariffs #tariffimpact #tradewar #trade #economy #recession #usa #uspolitics #insidertrading #useconomy #globaleconomy #congress #senate #china #wallstreet #chinaeconomy #scunthorpe #uk #ukpolitics #keirstarmer #steel #steelfactory #eu #europe #xijinping #Podcast #UKPodcast #PoliticsPodcast #News #Politics #NewsAgents #EmilyMaitlis #JonSopel #LewisGoodall Download The News Agents with Emily Maitlis, Jon Sopel and Lewis Goodall from 5PM every weekday on Global Player: https://www.globalplayer.com/podcasts/42KuVj/ Subscribe here: https://www.youtube.com/@thenewsagents The News Agents is a Global Player Original podcast. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Connect with us on the Socials!
