Episode description

As the U.S. sees new tariffs, we look at how they can make or break an economy. In Haiti, U.S. policies forced the government to bring down tariffs on foreign goods, allowing American farmers to export crops cheaply. That made it expensive for Haitians to eat food grown domestically, leading to dependence on foreign aid. Special correspondent Marcia Biggs and videographer Eric O'Connor report.
