Tariffs will help improve ‘broken global economic situation,’ economist Oren Cass says

From PBS NewsHour.

President Trump announced another list of new tariffs on more than 60 countries, an unprecedented economic move that seeks to remake the global trade system. The tariffs, which range in rates from 10 to 41 percent, will take effect next week. It comes as the jobs report came in weaker than expected, with just 73,000 added last month. Geoff Bennett discussed more with Oren Cass of American Compass.
