Have Trump's tariff dreams been shattered?
It’s been a chaotic day in the United States.
This morning, we heard the news that a court in the US has blocked Donald Trump’s tariffs.
Later this evening, we found out that Trump's tariff plan was temporarily reinstated while a court considers a White House appeal.
In between that, we recorded an episode, exploring what all this could mean for the global trade war, Trump’s relationship with the courts, and what seems to be the final moments of Elon Musk’s and Trump’s courtship - as the tech mogul steps away from DOGE.
