Swamp Notes: The conservative view on tariffs now

US President Donald Trump has garnered a lot of criticism since he enacted his trade war. But there are people who still defend the tariffs, including Oren Cass, chief economist of the conservative thinktank American Compass. Cass is a contributor to the FT’s opinion pages, and he joins the FT’s US national editor and columnist Edward Luce to discuss why some conservatives still find value in tariffs.


Mentioned in this podcast:

Trump has no idea what he has unleashed

Europe must choose between America and China
