On today’s show, Donald Trump vowed to impose a 25% tariff on goods from any country doing business with Iran, a move that risks upending America’s trade truce with China, the world’s top buyer of Iranian oil.
The Trump administration’s probe into the central bank triggers a backlash in Washington, with key Republicans warning Fed independence is being eroded.
