Washington Week with The Atlantic

Trump’s unpredictable policies impact global economies

Season 2025 Episode 10 | 11m 23s

New warning signs emerged this week that President Trump’s erratic economic policies are negatively impacting U.S. and global economies. His actions to shrink the federal government and impose tariffs on the country’s largest trading partners have rattled markets and prompted warnings of a possible recession. Meanwhile, some are asking if congressional Democrats are doing enough.
