Sorry, Canada. You're not invited.
About this episode
The episode discusses the differing treatment of Canada and Mexico by the Trump administration regarding trade and the implications of the transition to an AI economy on workers.
Canada and Mexico are getting very different treatment from the Trump administration when it comes to trade. U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer will travel to Mexico tomorrow for talks on revising the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement. Canada is not invited. In fact, it’s facing new U.S. tariffs. We dig in. Then, the transition to an AI economy could benefit some workers and displace others, but who gets to decide just how this transition will go? The AFL-CIO, the nation's largest coalition of labor unions, is demanding a role. Every story has an economic angle. Want some in your inbox? Subscribe to our daily or weekly newsletter .
