Congratulations. I have no doubt. Hey there, it's the NPR Politics Podcast. I'm Sarah McCammon. I cover politics. And I'm Asma Khalid. I cover the White House. And on today's show, we are looking at the tariffs President Trump has put in place this week and how they're affecting the economy. So we've got NPR's chief economics correspondent, Scott Horsley, with us. Hi, Scott.
Always good to have you. You know, just remind us, there's been so much tariff talk from Trump, but what has actually been put in place so far?
So, Asma, like Scott just said, there's been a lot of back and forth here. I mean, what is the White House trying to do? Just sort of bring us up to speed on where they're focusing these tariffs and why.
You know, Asma, you just mentioned the Trump administration saying that this is about fairness. But I just want to step back a little further. Both of you, what is Trump's ostensible rationale for doing this?
And, you know, it's not just about goods. It's also about jobs. I want to ask you both about something that U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick said on Fox News recently.
I mean, Scott, help us put this in context. Is it really that simple?
OK, it's time for a quick break. We'll have more in just a moment.
And we're back. Scott, you were talking a minute ago about picking winners and losers, which brings me to the question, how are businesses and also how are the markets reacting to all of this?
Yeah. Asma, how much does the White House, how much does President Trump respond to those signals from the business community?
OK, we've talked a bunch about businesses and how they're responding. But what about the countries that are being targeted with these tariffs? I mean, I'm thinking about Canada, which has, of course, been for such a long time such a close U.S.
All right. I think we're going to leave it there for today. Scott Horsley, so good to have you with us. Thank you for being here.
We'll be back tomorrow with the Weekly Roundup. I'm Sarah McCammon. I cover politics.
And thank you for listening to the NPR Politics Podcast.
