Trump's Trade Game: What is a Tariff? | Takaro Podcast
Kiran and Debkanya talk about President Trump's new tariffs on imports from countries like China, Mexico, and Canada. They explain what tariffs are (extra charges on goods from other countries) and how these can make things more expensive but also help local businesses. They discuss the pros and cons, like encouraging local manufacturing but also raising prices for consumers.
The episode also explains the idea of a global trade war where countries might respond with their own tariffs.
As always, there's a fun quiz question about the countries most impacted by Trump’s tariffs and a shoutout to the winner from last week's episode who sent in the correct answer about Pluto's current status!
