President Trump's chaotic rollout and partial rollback of tariffs
has roiled financial markets and confused many allies, both
domestically and internationally. Although he temporarily calmed
bond markets by announcing a 90-day pause on his misleadingly
labeled "reciprocal tariffs," the uncertainty he created continues.
Meanwhile, China has responded to the 145% tariffs on their
imported goods by imposing retaliatory tariffs on American products
and halting exports of rare earth minerals. To help us makes sense
of the mess, Kara talks to three experts: Raj Bhala is a
professor at the University of Kansas School of Law and one of the
foremost scholars on international trade law. He is also the author
of Trade War: Causes, Conduct, and Consequences of Sino-American
Confrontation. Bill Cohan is an M&A banker-turned-financial
journalist and a co-founder of Puck. He’s the author of a number of
books, including Power Failure: The Rise and Fall of an American
Icon. Catherine Rampell is a nationally syndicated columnist at The
Washington Post who specializes in economics, politics, and public
policy. She’s a special correspondent for PBS Newshour and she will
soon anchor and co-host of MSNBC’s The Weekend. This episode was
