Today's Podcast Features:

Nathan Dean, Bloomberg Intelligence Senior Policy Analyst, discusses President Donald Trump’s tariffs.
President Donald Trump’s 25% tariffs on steel and aluminum imports came into force Wednesday, triggering concern across export-reliant Asia and immediate reprisals from the European Union and Canada as the global trade war enters a rocky phase. 

Oliver Crook, Bloomberg Europe Correspondent, discusses US-Ukraine talks in Saudi Arabia.
Less than two weeks after Donald Trump lambasted Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy in an Oval Office confrontation, the US president put the pressure on Russia to accept a ceasefire agreement hammered out with Zelenskiy’s advisers. The accord reached in Saudi Arabia by US and Ukrainian negotiators for a 30-day halt in the conflict, which began with Russia’s full-scale invasion three years ago, now hinges on Vladimir Putin, who may have little incentive to abide by it.

Tyler Kendall, Bloomberg News Reporter, discusses President Donald Trump saying the US economy faces “a period of transition,” deflecting concerns about the risks of a slowdown as his early focus on tariffs and federal job cuts causes market turmoil.
Trump’s on-again, off-again tariff policies have rattled investors, triggering a selloff in technology shares and levels of volatility not seen in years. 

Tim Urbanowicz, Chief Investment Strategist at Innovator Capital Management, discusses his outlook for the markets. He discusses sentiment shifting incredibly quickly from excitement about a new Trump administration to fear.
