Maggie Daun explores the tumultuous landscape of tariffs and trade conflicts, ignited by Donald Trump's recent announcements regarding tariffs on Canada, Mexico, and China. She contends that this economic approach is misguided, as it risks increasing consumer prices and undermining the ability of U.S. manufacturers to export their products. Maggie also cautions about the looming threat of a trade war, which could result in elevated prices for everyday items and potential job losses.
In addition, Maggie recounts her travel challenges at the St. Louis airport, where heavy traffic almost caused her to miss her flight. She also provides valuable Black Friday shopping advice from the Better Business Bureau and invites listeners to share their perspectives on the economic ramifications of tariffs.
