Join us for a chat with Peter Coy, economics editor at Bloomberg Businessweek, Dan Moss and guest host Kate Smith about the future of Social Security and why you should care right now.

At the World Economic Forum in Davos, Donald Trump’s return is forcing allies, executives and investors to rethink how they deal with an economic superpower that keeps everything “on the table.”

In this episode of Trumponomics, host Stephanie Flanders, Bloomberg News Editor in Chief John Micklethwait, Bloomberg Television host Annmarie Hordern and Sridhar Natarajan, Bloomberg News’ chief Wall Street correspondent, examine whether Europe is finally prepared to push back after a year of accommodating tariffs, trade threats and now even territorial claims while Trump scrambles to address an affordability crisis at home while pushing a business-friendly approach to AI abroad. The conversation explores how this historic divergence from rules-based economics is reshaping global alliances, US corporate strategy and the future of both US markets and the world economy.

Host Stephanie Flanders, Bloomberg’s head of government and economics, is joined by Anna Wong, chief US economist for Bloomberg Economics, and Bloomberg News senior Washington correspondent Saleha Mohsin to unpack the political backlash sparked by the Trump administration's criminal probe into Fed Chair Jerome Powell, including rare pushback from a few Republican lawmakers and Donald Trump’s own Treasury secretary. The discussion explores how the move, which Powell says is over monetary policy rather than building renovations, could backfire by hardening his resolve, complicating Trump’s plans to install a new Fed chair and his attempts to force interest rate cuts.

This week, Stephanie Flanders examines the economic fallout of the US attack on Venezuela and Washington asserting effective control over the South American country. The discussion focuses on what this means for global oil markets, US economic power and the rules-based international order. Javier Blas, a columnist for Bloomberg Opinion and energy expert, and Bloomberg Economics analyst Chris Kennedy, who served as a member of Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s policy planning staff, explain how access to Venezuela’s vast oil reserves could give the US unprecedented leverage over energy prices and foreign policy. They also analyze how it increases geopolitical instability and may help, or hinder, Trump's domestic political goals.
