Tariffs are not the cure to world trade problems

In this episode of The Sound of Economics, Rebecca Christie
discusses the current global trade landscape with Penny Naas, of
the German Marshall Fund and Atlantic Council, and Niclas
Poitiers from Bruegel. They explore the challenges of balancing
economic resilience, protectionism, and the push for green
technologies amid these transformations. Naas and Poitiers
provide insights into the rationale behind the differing
approaches of the US and EU towards tariffs and industrial
subsidies, as well as the broader impact on global trade
relations. They also touch on the role of the WTO in navigating
these complex dynamics and the future of international trade
policies.
