What happens when a country treats trade wars like a game of poker, but forgets to learn the rules? In this episode of PR After Hours, we’re unpacking the chaotic world of game theory, tariffs, and the high-stakes decisions that rocked global economies.
From impulsive moves to missed opportunities, we’ll explore how a lack of strategy turned a global chess match into a game of chance.
Spoiler: Sometimes, winning isn't about having the best hand—it’s about knowing when to fold.
