Tariff Turmoil

A topic front of mind for every investor at the moment is the potential impact of tariffs on the global economy. The Trump administration in the US has imposed tariffs on specific countries including Canada, Mexico and China, tariffs on specific industries including cars, steel and aluminium, culminating in the announcement of 'reciprocal tariffs' on goods imports from nearly every country in the world, which have since been delayed. In this podcast, Challenger's Chief Economist, Jonathan Kearns, discusses the likelihood these tariffs will be enacted, and the implications for the US, Australian and world economy with Fidante Investment Specialist, James Clark.
