IEA PodcastTrump's Trade Disaster Just Made America POORER | Stan Veuger | IEA InterviewIn this Institute of Economic Affairs podcast, the IEA’s Head of Media Reem Ibrahim interviews Stan Veuger, Senior Fellow in Economic Policy Studies at the American Enterprise Institute. The conversation examines the dramatic shift in Trump's second-term trade policy, including unprecedented 25% tariffs on Canada and Mexico, the "reciprocal tariffs" announced in April affecting virtually every country globally, and the resulting economic turbulence that saw US GDP growth slow from 2.8% to just 1.2%. Veuger explains how these policies represent Trump's longstanding mercantilist worldview rather than strategic negotiating tactics, and discusses the ongoing legal challenges that could potentially overturn the tariff re...

(8 mei 2025)President Trump heeft een handelsdeal tussen Amerika en het Verenigd Koninkrijk aangekondigd. Het is de eerste deal die Trump sluit, nadat hij ruim een maand geleden een kernbom gooide op de wereldhandel door het instellen van importtarieven tegen vrijwel de hele wereld.

Leading IndicatorTrump's Tariff Formula 'Makes No Economic Sense' and is Based on an Error, Says EconomistStan Veuger, Senior Fellow at American Enterprise Institute, explains his view that the formula that the White House is using to decide tariff rates for each country is flawed and based on a mathematical error. Veuger argues that the mistake makes the rates 4x what they should be. He explains the potential damage that can be done to economic growth, the supply chain, and investment in the U.S.. While the Trump Administration is laser-focused on eliminating trade deficits, Veuger lays out why deficits paint an incomplete picture about trade relationships and don't fairly represent whether the U.S...

Meanwhile, a trio of administration fools trying to defend the tariffs—Lutnick, Bessent, and Hassett—showed there is no grand design to the trade war, White House infighting is getting hot enough that even Elon is subtweeting Trump, and the folks we elected over on the Hill could actually do something to try to stop the market carnage.

The Missing Piece [International]Chaos Within The Dutch Government Won't End SoonThe Dutch political scene is in turmoil due to failed coalition talks and the collapse of the government.

This instability could weaken Dutch economic policies and influence within the EU, potentially disrupting European markets and impacting global trade and investment. The uncertainty surrounding the formation of a new government may delay important policy decisions, affecting international economic relations. Dr. Stan Veuger joins the latest show to talk more.
