In this episode of Data Nation, economist Dr. Dave Donaldson joins us to explore how data shapes U.S. tariff policy. The discussion focuses on why Americans are skeptical of tariffs, how different industries are impacted by trade protections, and how these choices reflect broader social and political values. In this episode, Dr. Donaldson gives us further insight on whether recent shifts in trade policy are driven by economics or politics. We also look at how uncertainty around tariffs affects the economy and what smart, data-informed policy might look like moving forward.
