Interview: "China started this, and Trump has escalated it"
Manage episode 479605503 series 3375277
Just 100 days in the White House has seen US President Donald Trump shake up global trade in a huge way.
The acknowledgement last week by the US that huge tariffs against China are ‘unsustainable’ was a significant de-escalation in the trade war between the world's two largest economies.
In this wide-ranging interview, Sean Aylmer talks to Professor Tim Harcourt from The Institute of Public Policy & Governance at UTS and host of The Airport Economist and Footynomics. They discuss the political reaction to tariffs, the fact that China used tariffs as a geopolitical tool before the US, and the opportunity presented by markets like India and Indonesia.
