Bill Cohan joins Peter for a deep dive into Trump’s tariff threats against Mexico, Canada, and China.

Then they discuss the inevitable market volatility, and whether, despite any potential short-term gains, these tariffs will ultimately prove inflationary and harmful to U.S. relations with key allies.
