On this episode of Voternomics,we discuss former US President Donald Trump’s self-proclaimed favorite word: tariffs. While mainstream economists warn that hiking taxes on certain imports is bad for business, not everyone appears to be of the same mind. That became evident last week during Bloomberg News Editor-in-Chief John Micklethwait’s interview of Trump before the Economic Club of Chicago. The crowd’s enthusiastic reaction to the Republican presidential candidate’s talk of tariffs suggested that many of America’s Midwest businesspeople might take a different view.

Hosts Stephanie Flanders, Adrian Wooldridge and Allegra Stratton discuss the roots of Trump’s love of tariffs with Micklethwait himself and consider whether an “America First” approach could win short-term gains for some parts of the US economy, even if it undermines global trade and weakens America’s global standing in the long-term.

This week, we bring you highlights from Stephanie's conversation with French President Emmanuel Macron at the Berlin Global Dialogue. 

He defends his decision to call for a snap election, and he issues a stark warning for the EU: a lack of investment and too much regulation will make the bloc unable to compete with the US and China. Berlin Global Dialogue Chair Lars-Hendrik Röller, chief economic advisor to former German Chancellor Angela Merkel, also appears on the panel.
