What happens when the world's most powerful economy is run by people staffed by loyalty vs competence?

Are markets complacent because of the "predictable, unpredictability" of the Trump administration and what does this all mean for investors?

Five former Treasury secretaries warned that recent actions by the Trump administration and Elon Musk’s DOGE team at the Treasury Department raise “substantial cause for concern” that the United States’ financial commitments are being “unlawfully” undermined.

Potential Treasury defaults and new reciprocal tariffs are discussed by Michelle Martin with guest Swapnil Mishra, author of Investing for the Clueless, Reckless and Overly Cautious. 

Both look closer at trade tensions with the EU, Japan, and South Korea, and the possible ripple effects on global markets.

Discover which sectors could be most affected and how investors can position their portfolios for resilience.
