About this episode

Professor Justin Wolfers discusses the implications of Canada's retaliation against Trump's trade policies.

Professor Justin Wolfers joins Maddie Hale to analyse day one of Canada’s retaliation against Trump, from the growing Canadian boycott and damage to American jobs and businesses to the risk of escalation, Trump’s Bombardier threat, the impact on the US auto industry and why Wolfers believes Trump’s “pointless and dumb” trade war could ultimately backfire.
