Episode description

Curious how the U.S.–China trade war and Trump’s tariffs impact your wallet? The Trade War Frontline breaks down international trade in simple terms. From rising prices on shoes, electronics, and spices to unexpected “tariff surcharges,” we explore how consumers are already feeling the pinch.

We dive into why companies are warning of cost hikes, how Amazon and retailers are reacting, and what “pre-tariff sales” might mean for your next shopping trip. Beyond price tags, we’ll uncover how tariffs are hitting consumer confidence, fueling inflation fears, and raising the risk of recession.

You’ll also hear insights on the back-and-forth between the U.S. and China, how national security is being used as a justification, and what’s really at stake in reshaping the global economy. Plus, we look at how the EU and other global players are responding.

If you want to understand how global trade tensions are hitting home, this is your front-row seat.
