Washington Week with The Atlantic

What's next for Trump after triggering economic chaos?

Season 2025 Episode 15 | 15m 17s

Is there a method to the seeming madness we’ve all experienced this past week? Donald Trump, a famously transactional president, apparently believes quite deeply in something few economists believe, that high tariffs are the key to strengthening the American economy and society.

Major funding for “Washington Week with The Atlantic” is provided by Consumer Cellular, Otsuka, Kaiser Permanente, the Yuen Foundation, and the Corporation for Public Broadcasting.
