1
00:00:02,720 --> 00:00:18,440
Speaker 1: Bloomberg Audio Studios, podcasts, radio news. I'm Stephanie Flander's head

2
00:00:18,440 --> 00:00:22,200
Speaker 1: of Government and Economics at Bloomberg. Welcome to Trumponomics, the

3
00:00:22,239 --> 00:00:24,880
Speaker 1: podcast that looks at the economic world of Donald Trump,

4
00:00:24,920 --> 00:00:28,280
Speaker 1: how he's already shaped the global economy. What on earth

5
00:00:28,360 --> 00:00:32,560
Speaker 1: is going to happen next? President Trump, it's often said,

6
00:00:32,600 --> 00:00:36,000
Speaker 1: approaches the presidency like a reality show. The deadlines, the

7
00:00:36,159 --> 00:00:40,880
Speaker 1: late night social media posts, the multiple plot lines. It's

8
00:00:40,960 --> 00:00:44,360
Speaker 1: all about keeping us all tuned in. And that might

9
00:00:44,360 --> 00:00:46,800
Speaker 1: be unfair, but there's no doubt he knows how to

10
00:00:46,880 --> 00:00:49,680
Speaker 1: keep his audience guessing, and he really knows how to

11
00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:54,400
Speaker 1: raise the stakes. We're recording this in London on Tuesday,

12
00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:59,040
Speaker 1: June twenty fourth, after twelve days of conflict between Israel

13
00:00:59,080 --> 00:01:02,720
Speaker 1: and Iran, and many days of guessing quite how far

14
00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:05,880
Speaker 1: the US would allow Israel to lead it into war.

15
00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:09,160
Speaker 1: But peace is now broken out, or at least a

16
00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:12,479
Speaker 1: fragile ceasefire. Everything may have changed again by the time

17
00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:14,440
Speaker 1: you hear this, but I want to shift focus anyway

18
00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:17,280
Speaker 1: to consider a conflict which could have, probably would have

19
00:01:17,720 --> 00:01:21,040
Speaker 1: a much larger impact on the global economy, the trade

20
00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:25,360
Speaker 1: war unleashed by President Trump with his Liberation Day tariffs

21
00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:29,000
Speaker 1: on April second. Now, the ninety day ceasefire in that

22
00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:32,920
Speaker 1: war runs out in just two weeks, with barely a

23
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:37,399
Speaker 1: trade deal with US trading partners in sight. But having

24
00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:41,040
Speaker 1: blinked once with that ninety day pause, the assumption of many,

25
00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:44,199
Speaker 1: especially in the markets, had been that Donald Trump would

26
00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:48,000
Speaker 1: back down again if his so called reciprocal tariffs were

27
00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:52,320
Speaker 1: again riling the markets. But the world found out this

28
00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:56,040
Speaker 1: weekend that President Trump doesn't always chicken out. So should

29
00:01:56,040 --> 00:01:59,520
Speaker 1: we be considering alternative plot lines for the great tariff

30
00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:02,280
Speaker 1: wars of twenty twenty five. I don't know the answer

31
00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:05,280
Speaker 1: to that, but I know two colleagues who can speculate

32
00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:09,480
Speaker 1: more sensibly than most in Washington, d C. Sean donnand

33
00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:12,640
Speaker 1: senior writer with Bloomberg on the US and global economy

34
00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:17,359
Speaker 1: and a frequent participant on trumpnomics. Welcome back, Sean. Wonderful

35
00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:19,760
Speaker 1: to be here and usually in New York City, but

36
00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:22,840
Speaker 1: this week with me in London is John Authors. John

37
00:02:22,919 --> 00:02:26,559
Speaker 1: is a senior editor for Markets and a Bloomberg opinion columnist.

38
00:02:26,639 --> 00:02:28,640
Speaker 1: He was also the Ft for many years before that,

39
00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:32,240
Speaker 1: and his daily newsletter Points of Return, is now one

40
00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:34,880
Speaker 1: of the most read on Bloomberg. Very nice to have.

41
00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:38,119
Speaker 2: You with us, John, Thank you for that very kind introduction.

42
00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:38,919
Speaker 2: It's great to be here.

43
00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:45,440
Speaker 1: It's all downhill from here. So Sean reminds us what

44
00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:47,639
Speaker 1: the US tariff rate is now with the rest of

45
00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:49,720
Speaker 1: the world, because it's obviously much higher than it was

46
00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:52,040
Speaker 1: when Donald Trump took office.

47
00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:55,640
Speaker 3: Right, So, we entered the year with the average applied

48
00:02:55,720 --> 00:02:58,400
Speaker 3: tar f rate on US imports around two and a

49
00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:01,600
Speaker 3: half percent, and it's now sitting around fifteen percent, which

50
00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:04,640
Speaker 3: is its highest level since the nineteen thirties. And I

51
00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:07,280
Speaker 3: think that's the key point right there. We're at the

52
00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:12,080
Speaker 3: highest rate in almost a century. That is in the

53
00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:14,960
Speaker 3: middle of a pause. Trump has threatened much higher tariffs

54
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:18,120
Speaker 3: that would take that average applied rate up closer to

55
00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:20,639
Speaker 3: twenty five percent, which would take us to the highest

56
00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:23,440
Speaker 3: rate since somewhere in the late nineteenth century.

57
00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:25,480
Speaker 1: I'm glad we started with that because it's something to

58
00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:27,799
Speaker 1: bear in mind that there's one of the clever things

59
00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:31,000
Speaker 1: that President Trump does is sort of change our perceptions

60
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:33,480
Speaker 1: of how bigger number is or how small a number is.

61
00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:36,160
Speaker 1: So just falling on from that, as you say, there's

62
00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:40,200
Speaker 1: a ceasefire with the sort of big reciprocal tariffs, those

63
00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:42,400
Speaker 1: ones that he announced in the Rose Garden with a

64
00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:47,120
Speaker 1: big menu board. But that would mean a much larger

65
00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:50,080
Speaker 1: increase in average tariphraates. As you said, it's about another

66
00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:54,080
Speaker 1: twenty percent increase in the US tariffhrase and quite a

67
00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:56,120
Speaker 1: hit even just for the US economy.

68
00:03:56,720 --> 00:04:01,360
Speaker 3: Absolutely, we should go back and remember that when those

69
00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:06,000
Speaker 3: initial Liberation Day tariffs were announced, most economists very quickly

70
00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:09,800
Speaker 3: started predicting a recession in the United States, and that

71
00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:14,800
Speaker 3: we saw the chances of a recession from big banks

72
00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:18,840
Speaker 3: and big Wall Street analytical shops go up above fifty percent,

73
00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:23,560
Speaker 3: and it was a pretty immediate threat of a pretty

74
00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:28,120
Speaker 3: dramatic slowdown in the US economy. What we've ended up

75
00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:35,239
Speaker 3: with is a much more benign scenario, but one still

76
00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:38,560
Speaker 3: where we're going to see slower growth and higher prices.

77
00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:41,520
Speaker 3: We're just not going to tumble into that dramatic recession.

78
00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:45,640
Speaker 1: So John, I mean Sean said, when those tarifts were announced,

79
00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:49,960
Speaker 1: we saw lots of people expecting a recession, and there

80
00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:51,839
Speaker 1: was a lot of action in the bomb markets, which

81
00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:56,000
Speaker 1: probably did force Donald Trump's hand in announcing that ninety

82
00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:58,359
Speaker 1: day cease five. But it was only a ninety day ceasfive.

83
00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:01,960
Speaker 1: So how come everything's been so quiet since then and

84
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:04,360
Speaker 1: even now in the lead up to this deadline, when

85
00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:06,560
Speaker 1: the deals that were supposed to be signed are just

86
00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:09,440
Speaker 1: nowhere to be seen. Apart from that rather feeble UK deal.

87
00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:12,600
Speaker 2: Which wasn't really a dealer. All of us speaking today

88
00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:15,400
Speaker 2: are alumni of the Financial Times. To mention the guy

89
00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:17,360
Speaker 2: who is actually still at the Financial Times, I will

90
00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:21,200
Speaker 2: colleague Robert Armstrong came up with the glorious acronym TUCO

91
00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:23,799
Speaker 2: for Trump Always chickens Out.

92
00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:26,559
Speaker 1: I was thinking it's great for him to get credit

93
00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:28,360
Speaker 1: for that, But I wonder whether he, given how much

94
00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:30,800
Speaker 1: Donald Trump apparently hates it, I wonder whether he's sort

95
00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:32,480
Speaker 1: of wishing it would been a bit more anonymous.

96
00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:36,480
Speaker 2: I gathered yes. But anyway, the point is that when

97
00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:40,920
Speaker 2: he used that phrase, it touched a nerve beyond the

98
00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:44,200
Speaker 2: tariff truces. There had been the earlier deciding he was

99
00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:48,560
Speaker 2: going to lift the fentanyl tariffs on Mexico and Canada

100
00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:51,279
Speaker 2: in return for really no concessions at all. There was

101
00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:54,239
Speaker 2: the brief threat to see if he could fire Jerom

102
00:05:54,279 --> 00:05:58,359
Speaker 2: Powell from the FED. That's also got removed quite quickly,

103
00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:01,640
Speaker 2: and so there really was a sense in the market

104
00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:03,720
Speaker 2: that this was something you could rely on, that it

105
00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:06,400
Speaker 2: was like a put option that Trump always chickens out.

106
00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:10,880
Speaker 2: You can safely ignore him. If other people are selling

107
00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:14,880
Speaker 2: because they think there is more political risk because Trump

108
00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:17,240
Speaker 2: might actually go through with what he's doing, then it

109
00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:21,400
Speaker 2: makes sense to buy. And that's basically the logic that

110
00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:25,279
Speaker 2: has moved. And that means that officially we are moving

111
00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:28,960
Speaker 2: back to whatever number Swan gave us over twenty five

112
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:33,120
Speaker 2: percent average tariffs two weeks from now, which is economic

113
00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:36,159
Speaker 2: armageddon scenario. I know nobody who thinks that wouldn't cause

114
00:06:36,279 --> 00:06:38,320
Speaker 2: a recession if you actually had tariffs that eye for

115
00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:41,360
Speaker 2: any length of time. And yet people are so calm.

116
00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:47,080
Speaker 2: There is a strong assumption that Trump does always chicken out. Now,

117
00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:50,040
Speaker 2: the interesting thing is, after we've the effect of the

118
00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:54,480
Speaker 2: bunker buster in Iran, which does it has to be said,

119
00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:58,680
Speaker 2: show that Trump doesn't absolutely always chicken out, might actually

120
00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:03,919
Speaker 2: make it easier for the administration to chicken out on

121
00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:06,360
Speaker 2: this one, or to take a step.

122
00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:09,320
Speaker 1: Back to contorted Trump in logical Yes.

123
00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:11,440
Speaker 2: Now that we have shown that at least once you

124
00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:15,080
Speaker 2: can't rely on Trump not to go through with a threat,

125
00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:18,080
Speaker 2: and particularly when so far it looks as though the

126
00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:21,240
Speaker 2: threat is working out for him. That makes it politically

127
00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:25,760
Speaker 2: much easier for him to step back on the tariffs.

128
00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:28,800
Speaker 1: At sure, you're sitting in DC, you spend more time

129
00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:32,720
Speaker 1: trying to get into the brain of Donald Trump. That

130
00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:35,360
Speaker 1: doesn't sound too uncomfortable. Does that ring true to you

131
00:07:35,440 --> 00:07:37,720
Speaker 1: that that's how the White House might be thinking about it.

132
00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:42,240
Speaker 3: Look, I think there's definitely some recalculating that's happening around

133
00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:45,280
Speaker 3: the world in all those capitals that are dealing with

134
00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:49,400
Speaker 3: the prospect of higher tariffs. You know, Donald Trump followed

135
00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:53,520
Speaker 3: through on a pretty dramatic threat, and I think around

136
00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:56,240
Speaker 3: tariffs he may do it again. But we may see

137
00:07:56,240 --> 00:07:58,480
Speaker 3: a version of what we've seen in the wake of

138
00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:03,280
Speaker 3: Iran is a pretty dramatic escalation and again an attempt

139
00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:07,400
Speaker 3: to raise the leverage on other countries, to increase the

140
00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:10,880
Speaker 3: heat to force people to the table. We've seen him

141
00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:14,440
Speaker 3: do that actually during the ceasefire by threatening fifty percent

142
00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:18,000
Speaker 3: tariffs on the EU because they weren't negotiating fast enough,

143
00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:22,080
Speaker 3: and that prompted some pretty rapid action on the EU side,

144
00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:24,480
Speaker 3: where they quickly jumped on some planes came to Washington

145
00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:28,120
Speaker 3: and toxic accelerated at least for a few days. So

146
00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:30,920
Speaker 3: we may see something like that again this time around.

147
00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:33,000
Speaker 3: But I think in all of this we have to

148
00:08:33,040 --> 00:08:37,800
Speaker 3: remember where Trump's trying to get to, right, and I

149
00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:40,000
Speaker 3: think actually the first time he was asked about this

150
00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:45,040
Speaker 3: taco acronym, he was had a kind of indignant response,

151
00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:48,360
Speaker 3: but he also laid out very clearly how he negotiates,

152
00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:53,079
Speaker 3: and he says, I throw out an extreme number that

153
00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:55,120
Speaker 3: causes people to come to the table, and then we

154
00:08:55,200 --> 00:08:57,640
Speaker 3: finally settle at a lower number. And that's what he's

155
00:08:57,640 --> 00:09:00,360
Speaker 3: been doing here. The fact that we are now here

156
00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:04,000
Speaker 3: in the end of June thinking about a ten percent

157
00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:07,520
Speaker 3: tariff on the world, which a year ago would have

158
00:09:07,520 --> 00:09:12,200
Speaker 3: been an incredibly dramatic policy gesture as some kind of

159
00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:16,720
Speaker 3: benign option, means that Trump and the administration have actually

160
00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:19,840
Speaker 3: succeeded in a way and doing what they do, which

161
00:09:19,880 --> 00:09:23,559
Speaker 3: is shifting the framing, shifting the assumptions out there in

162
00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:26,839
Speaker 3: the world about what's normal. Plus we should mention these

163
00:09:26,880 --> 00:09:30,160
Speaker 3: pretty dramatic sectoral tariffs, So twenty five percent tariffs on

164
00:09:30,920 --> 00:09:34,960
Speaker 3: cars coming into the United States, some looming investigations on

165
00:09:35,120 --> 00:09:39,600
Speaker 3: semiconductors and copper and lumber, all of which are going

166
00:09:39,679 --> 00:09:41,880
Speaker 3: to include not just the raw materials but products that

167
00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:45,200
Speaker 3: are made of those things. You know, that being accepted

168
00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:48,680
Speaker 3: as normal is to me still the mind blowing thing here,

169
00:09:48,920 --> 00:09:52,880
Speaker 3: and that's perhaps Donald Trump's great achievement. I think, you know,

170
00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:56,520
Speaker 3: you can say Trump always chickens out, but if financial

171
00:09:56,559 --> 00:10:00,319
Speaker 3: markets read it as him chickening out, Trump actually wins

172
00:10:00,400 --> 00:10:04,480
Speaker 3: because he gets what he wants, which is tariffs and

173
00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:05,640
Speaker 3: the revenues that come.

174
00:10:05,520 --> 00:10:07,040
Speaker 1: With them, I guess it's now it's going to be

175
00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:09,520
Speaker 1: It's going to be Trump. Trump always cashes out, He's

176
00:10:09,559 --> 00:10:11,560
Speaker 1: managed to come away, you know, he's cashed out.

177
00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:15,400
Speaker 3: Or Trump always gets what he wants, or I mean,

178
00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:17,880
Speaker 3: you know, there's all all sorts of acronyms and memes

179
00:10:17,880 --> 00:10:18,640
Speaker 3: we can come up with.

180
00:10:19,240 --> 00:10:21,040
Speaker 1: I think John, you and I had both seen this.

181
00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:24,600
Speaker 1: To the slot, the chief economist of Apollo and sends

182
00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:28,080
Speaker 1: around these influential notes and charts. This is something he'd

183
00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:30,319
Speaker 1: framed as all sort of part of a cunning plan

184
00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:32,840
Speaker 1: of Donald Trump's that we're going to end up in

185
00:10:32,880 --> 00:10:36,080
Speaker 1: a place that we recognize as being modest, which isn't

186
00:10:36,120 --> 00:10:36,960
Speaker 1: really modest at all.

187
00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:40,840
Speaker 2: Yes, and there is a pretty real chance that will happen,

188
00:10:41,640 --> 00:10:44,440
Speaker 2: because it gives him some grace. The specific suggestion that

189
00:10:44,480 --> 00:10:48,880
Speaker 2: Towston comes up with is that the net, rather than

190
00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:51,920
Speaker 2: that on the three month deadline, he will announce a

191
00:10:51,960 --> 00:10:58,520
Speaker 2: twelve month further period and people can continue to get ready,

192
00:10:58,640 --> 00:11:01,480
Speaker 2: but they can feel much more of a sense of

193
00:11:01,640 --> 00:11:06,440
Speaker 2: certainty and not notice that the tariffs the US are

194
00:11:06,480 --> 00:11:08,600
Speaker 2: charging of their highest since the nineteen thirties.

195
00:11:08,679 --> 00:11:10,920
Speaker 1: So this would be July night saying or sometime before

196
00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:13,560
Speaker 1: July nine's saying, actually, we're going so well with our

197
00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:15,640
Speaker 1: trade negotiations, we're going to let them run another year.

198
00:11:15,760 --> 00:11:20,280
Speaker 2: Yes, And I think the point there is that if

199
00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:25,840
Speaker 2: inflation hasn't picked up due to tariffs after another twelve months,

200
00:11:26,800 --> 00:11:30,400
Speaker 2: then there will be some degree of confidence that a

201
00:11:30,400 --> 00:11:32,920
Speaker 2: lot of us, including myself, certainly have been wrong in

202
00:11:33,080 --> 00:11:37,680
Speaker 2: thinking that tariffs would be directly inflationary. And similarly, if

203
00:11:37,840 --> 00:11:43,800
Speaker 2: the most recent pmi's manufacturing surveys Japan, Eurozone, the UK,

204
00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:46,280
Speaker 2: the US, they're all higher than they were three months ago.

205
00:11:46,679 --> 00:11:49,480
Speaker 2: In the era when we've known about tariffs and when

206
00:11:49,720 --> 00:11:52,800
Speaker 2: we've had the ten percent tariff. There are any number

207
00:11:52,840 --> 00:11:54,400
Speaker 2: of reasons which you probably don't want to go into

208
00:11:54,440 --> 00:11:57,760
Speaker 2: the weeds, why you might well expect the tariff effect

209
00:11:57,800 --> 00:12:00,680
Speaker 2: to take a while to show itself. Give it another

210
00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:05,400
Speaker 2: twelve months. If inflation does pick up, which most people

211
00:12:05,480 --> 00:12:09,080
Speaker 2: on Wall Street think that it pretty much inevitably will

212
00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:15,960
Speaker 2: to some extent, that becomes a big issue for Donald Trump,

213
00:12:16,080 --> 00:12:19,440
Speaker 2: because that's one thing he must not allow to happen,

214
00:12:19,559 --> 00:12:25,720
Speaker 2: is inflation to start increasing again. And it becomes almost

215
00:12:25,880 --> 00:12:29,120
Speaker 2: like a put option or a balancing mechanism that if

216
00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:32,640
Speaker 2: inflation takes off, if people begin to think it's your

217
00:12:32,760 --> 00:12:35,480
Speaker 2: stupid ten percent tariff, which is meaning our prices are

218
00:12:35,480 --> 00:12:39,760
Speaker 2: going up, that will become a major inhibiting factor. That

219
00:12:39,840 --> 00:12:42,000
Speaker 2: will probably be the end of the tariff agender.

220
00:12:42,640 --> 00:12:44,320
Speaker 1: It is worth getting into a little bit because one

221
00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:46,840
Speaker 1: of the other reasons for complacency, it was not just

222
00:12:47,480 --> 00:12:53,200
Speaker 1: taco being a fun acronym and people starting to believe

223
00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:55,640
Speaker 1: in it, but there was also this sense that the

224
00:12:55,720 --> 00:12:58,440
Speaker 1: economic pain that we've been sort of quote unquote promised

225
00:12:58,760 --> 00:13:02,840
Speaker 1: from these tariff rates a significant increase, as Sean reminds us,

226
00:13:02,880 --> 00:13:06,480
Speaker 1: in historical terms, the fact that that was not slowing

227
00:13:06,480 --> 00:13:09,640
Speaker 1: the economy in a visible way and was not adding

228
00:13:09,679 --> 00:13:12,000
Speaker 1: to inflation in an invisible way. I think was another

229
00:13:12,080 --> 00:13:14,959
Speaker 1: factor that has led people to be more relaxed about

230
00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:15,760
Speaker 1: these high tariffs.

231
00:13:15,800 --> 00:13:15,880
Speaker 3: Now.

232
00:13:15,880 --> 00:13:21,000
Speaker 1: I was looking at the analysis that are US economists

233
00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:24,200
Speaker 1: have done whether we should expect any kind of meaningful

234
00:13:24,240 --> 00:13:27,040
Speaker 1: increase inflation later in the year. I mean, so far,

235
00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:30,800
Speaker 1: they're not. They're not seeing it. They're seeing importers US

236
00:13:30,920 --> 00:13:33,920
Speaker 1: companies taking the full brunt of the tariffs, so they're

237
00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:37,559
Speaker 1: not getting any discounts from the exporting countries, which is

238
00:13:37,559 --> 00:13:40,359
Speaker 1: obviously you know, Donald Trump had said it's the exporters

239
00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:42,360
Speaker 1: that are paying these tariffs. So far, that's not been

240
00:13:42,400 --> 00:13:45,480
Speaker 1: the case, at least at the border. They are, by

241
00:13:45,559 --> 00:13:48,960
Speaker 1: and large, we're seeing it's the squeeze in profit margins

242
00:13:49,280 --> 00:13:52,200
Speaker 1: rather than an increase in prices.

243
00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:56,280
Speaker 3: I think one of the things with trade and tariffs

244
00:13:56,640 --> 00:14:01,400
Speaker 3: is we always expect this kind of dramatic reaction in

245
00:14:01,440 --> 00:14:04,600
Speaker 3: the economy, and we expect an immediate reaction in the economy.

246
00:14:04,600 --> 00:14:06,719
Speaker 3: And we know that going into these tariffs is a

247
00:14:06,800 --> 00:14:08,920
Speaker 3: huge build up of inventories, for example here in the

248
00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:12,360
Speaker 3: United States, and the products that are on the shelves today,

249
00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:16,439
Speaker 3: by and large are things oftentimes that were imported before

250
00:14:16,760 --> 00:14:20,440
Speaker 3: the tariffs went into place in April, So you were

251
00:14:20,440 --> 00:14:24,280
Speaker 3: never going to see a dramatic, immediate impact on inflation

252
00:14:24,920 --> 00:14:27,360
Speaker 3: from these tariffs, although we should point out that steel

253
00:14:27,400 --> 00:14:31,640
Speaker 3: prices in the United States have risen sharply, aluminum prices

254
00:14:31,680 --> 00:14:35,200
Speaker 3: have risen sharply, and so some of the inputs that

255
00:14:35,240 --> 00:14:39,120
Speaker 3: are tariff most dramatically have reacted fairly quickly. But when

256
00:14:39,200 --> 00:14:43,040
Speaker 3: it kind of flows through to the consumer end, there's

257
00:14:43,120 --> 00:14:46,320
Speaker 3: lots of stops on the way where you can take

258
00:14:46,360 --> 00:14:48,600
Speaker 3: a little bit off in terms of costs, you can

259
00:14:48,840 --> 00:14:51,400
Speaker 3: rely on inventories and so on. I was talking to

260
00:14:51,440 --> 00:14:55,040
Speaker 3: someone yesterday who works for an agency that does kind

261
00:14:55,040 --> 00:14:59,000
Speaker 3: of credit ratings for trade finance, and these are two

262
00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:04,080
Speaker 3: companies involved in trade transactions, and they do the credit

263
00:15:04,120 --> 00:15:05,960
Speaker 3: ratings on the companies, and they say, one of the

264
00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:10,320
Speaker 3: things that they're seeing is a lot of small businesses

265
00:15:10,840 --> 00:15:13,640
Speaker 3: really getting hit hard on the cash flow side because

266
00:15:13,640 --> 00:15:17,040
Speaker 3: suddenly they're paying these tariffs that are that they weren't

267
00:15:17,040 --> 00:15:20,960
Speaker 3: expecting to pay three four, six months ago. And the

268
00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:22,880
Speaker 3: point that this person was making to me is that

269
00:15:22,920 --> 00:15:26,680
Speaker 3: they can weather that for now, they can stretch payment

270
00:15:26,800 --> 00:15:29,520
Speaker 3: terms for a little bit, but over the next sixty days,

271
00:15:29,960 --> 00:15:32,400
Speaker 3: the whole game is going to change because the cash

272
00:15:32,440 --> 00:15:34,440
Speaker 3: flow situation for a lot of these small business is

273
00:15:34,840 --> 00:15:38,160
Speaker 3: is going to get a lot more dramatic. The payment

274
00:15:38,360 --> 00:15:41,200
Speaker 3: terms being extend is going to have an impact on

275
00:15:41,280 --> 00:15:43,360
Speaker 3: credit ratings, which will have an impact on access to

276
00:15:43,760 --> 00:15:46,200
Speaker 3: capital and so on. And so by the end of

277
00:15:46,240 --> 00:15:49,240
Speaker 3: the summer, this person was predicting, you're really going to

278
00:15:49,320 --> 00:15:53,600
Speaker 3: see an impact that's much clearer and so on, and

279
00:15:53,960 --> 00:15:57,680
Speaker 3: that rings true. A lot of companies will tell you, yes,

280
00:15:57,880 --> 00:16:00,200
Speaker 3: we've sucked it up for now, but I've just had

281
00:16:00,280 --> 00:16:04,480
Speaker 3: two months, three months of losses and at some point

282
00:16:04,520 --> 00:16:06,960
Speaker 3: I need to adjust and I need to increase prices

283
00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:09,440
Speaker 3: and so on. So I think there's a delayed response

284
00:16:09,720 --> 00:16:12,960
Speaker 3: in the economy. And the final thing is this is,

285
00:16:13,680 --> 00:16:16,920
Speaker 3: you know, the impact on an economy is we're talking

286
00:16:16,920 --> 00:16:20,800
Speaker 3: about often in the tenths of percentage points in drag

287
00:16:20,920 --> 00:16:24,200
Speaker 3: on growth, maybe a full percentage point in terms of

288
00:16:24,200 --> 00:16:28,200
Speaker 3: a drag on growth. That is not something that is

289
00:16:28,560 --> 00:16:32,840
Speaker 3: kind of felt immediately. It's an accumulation of things moving slower.

290
00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:35,840
Speaker 1: It's interesting though, so if you look at most of

291
00:16:35,480 --> 00:16:39,080
Speaker 1: our estimates, and that you know, the Bloomberg Economics estimates

292
00:16:39,200 --> 00:16:42,000
Speaker 1: sort of across the board. Actually, the biggest impact when

293
00:16:42,040 --> 00:16:46,400
Speaker 1: we look at the impact on Europe of Donald Trump's

294
00:16:46,880 --> 00:16:51,800
Speaker 1: trade policies on China, uncertainty is that, you know, when

295
00:16:51,800 --> 00:16:54,680
Speaker 1: they sort of break down the components, by far, the

296
00:16:54,720 --> 00:16:59,680
Speaker 1: biggest chunk of the hit is uncertainty. And as I

297
00:16:59,720 --> 00:17:03,440
Speaker 1: said before, that's not going to go away with endless ceasefires,

298
00:17:03,560 --> 00:17:09,960
Speaker 1: short term fixes truces. So that seems to me a

299
00:17:09,960 --> 00:17:13,240
Speaker 1: pretty pretty significant thing for the future because people could

300
00:17:13,280 --> 00:17:16,600
Speaker 1: just decide, and we're seeing this with foreign investment as well,

301
00:17:16,720 --> 00:17:19,000
Speaker 1: to just decide, I don't want any piece of it

302
00:17:19,040 --> 00:17:22,280
Speaker 1: because I just need certainty, even if I'm paying higher tariffs,

303
00:17:22,280 --> 00:17:24,680
Speaker 1: I just don't want to be dealing with the uncertainty

304
00:17:24,720 --> 00:17:26,959
Speaker 1: of being inside the US or trading with the US.

305
00:17:27,440 --> 00:17:30,520
Speaker 2: Yes, now, picking up on that point where I suspect

306
00:17:30,560 --> 00:17:32,919
Speaker 2: this issue is going to move is towards flows of

307
00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:36,639
Speaker 2: capital rather than trade blows, because you can close off

308
00:17:36,920 --> 00:17:42,240
Speaker 2: capital flows very swiftly. Indeed, and ultimately, we have a

309
00:17:42,280 --> 00:17:44,960
Speaker 2: proposal in the One Big Beautiful Bill Act that would

310
00:17:44,960 --> 00:17:49,840
Speaker 2: allow direct reprisal taxation on foreign capital in the US,

311
00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:52,600
Speaker 2: which would have a very interesting effect on its current

312
00:17:52,760 --> 00:17:56,439
Speaker 2: role in the global financial system. But it's also the

313
00:17:56,520 --> 00:18:00,399
Speaker 2: case that a universal tariff is at this moment a

314
00:18:00,920 --> 00:18:07,240
Speaker 2: tariff on or attacks on US company's profits. And one

315
00:18:07,320 --> 00:18:10,600
Speaker 2: of the big trends of the last ten to fifteen

316
00:18:10,640 --> 00:18:14,119
Speaker 2: years has been the ineluctable flow of capital into the

317
00:18:14,280 --> 00:18:18,480
Speaker 2: US chasing the higher profit margins, the higher profits generated

318
00:18:18,520 --> 00:18:22,879
Speaker 2: by big US companies. So what we do have with

319
00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:28,719
Speaker 2: the ten percent baseline? Does we all know? It's changes

320
00:18:28,760 --> 00:18:29,960
Speaker 2: at the margin that matter.

321
00:18:30,040 --> 00:18:31,760
Speaker 1: There's people are reason at the margin to get out

322
00:18:31,800 --> 00:18:32,080
Speaker 1: of the EUA.

323
00:18:32,520 --> 00:18:36,440
Speaker 2: Yes, the odds that you will steadily see capital which

324
00:18:36,480 --> 00:18:39,840
Speaker 2: has flowed in dramatic way to the US and twas

325
00:18:39,880 --> 00:18:43,680
Speaker 2: not ever. Thus, it's remarkable how big the US stock

326
00:18:43,720 --> 00:18:45,520
Speaker 2: market is compared to the rest of the world. It's

327
00:18:45,560 --> 00:18:50,080
Speaker 2: never been bigger, and so on. That could lead to

328
00:18:50,760 --> 00:18:54,480
Speaker 2: pretty serious problems years down the road, which may not

329
00:18:54,560 --> 00:18:59,280
Speaker 2: be possible to directly Again, econometricians will have all kinds

330
00:18:59,320 --> 00:19:02,800
Speaker 2: of arguments that's exactly why these problems are happening. But

331
00:19:02,840 --> 00:19:06,399
Speaker 2: it will be harder to borrow in the US because

332
00:19:06,520 --> 00:19:08,560
Speaker 2: rates will be going up and it will be harder

333
00:19:08,600 --> 00:19:14,280
Speaker 2: for companies to access abundant capital because their profits and

334
00:19:13,840 --> 00:19:19,639
Speaker 2: they no longer trade at the same attractive valuations. Meanwhile,

335
00:19:20,680 --> 00:19:25,639
Speaker 2: any return of capital to Europe and Japan will presumably

336
00:19:25,680 --> 00:19:27,200
Speaker 2: have that much more of a positive effect.

337
00:19:27,240 --> 00:19:27,359
Speaker 3: There.

338
00:19:27,440 --> 00:19:29,960
Speaker 1: There's something we keep coming back to about, Yeah, the

339
00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:33,520
Speaker 1: reasons for people to stay as invested in the US

340
00:19:33,520 --> 00:19:36,080
Speaker 1: market as they are. You mentioned it. If we're thinking

341
00:19:36,119 --> 00:19:39,880
Speaker 1: of things that have changed since Liberation Day, I mean,

342
00:19:39,920 --> 00:19:42,800
Speaker 1: one thing that has become very apparent is the very

343
00:19:42,880 --> 00:19:47,000
Speaker 1: high cost of the big, beautiful bill. Yes, and how

344
00:19:47,240 --> 00:19:49,439
Speaker 1: quite how beautiful it is, and how big it is

345
00:19:49,520 --> 00:19:51,960
Speaker 1: in so many ways that might not have been anticipated.

346
00:19:52,280 --> 00:19:54,760
Speaker 1: And in fact, we have a story running about how

347
00:19:55,200 --> 00:19:59,480
Speaker 1: the three point four trillion dollar cost of making the

348
00:19:59,520 --> 00:20:03,280
Speaker 1: twenty si seventeen tax cuts, the Trump one tax cuts permanent,

349
00:20:03,840 --> 00:20:07,840
Speaker 1: that the Senate Republicans are hoping to just wish that

350
00:20:07,920 --> 00:20:10,240
Speaker 1: away and just say, well, that's no change in policy

351
00:20:10,280 --> 00:20:11,880
Speaker 1: at all, so we don't have to count that three

352
00:20:11,920 --> 00:20:15,320
Speaker 1: point four trilliant. One thing that any investor, any policy

353
00:20:15,359 --> 00:20:18,080
Speaker 1: maker around the world would have to conclude looking at

354
00:20:18,119 --> 00:20:21,600
Speaker 1: this is taratt are not going to go any lower

355
00:20:21,840 --> 00:20:25,240
Speaker 1: than they are now because he really needs the money, Chawn,

356
00:20:25,359 --> 00:20:28,240
Speaker 1: he needs that offsetting revenue. I think is it four

357
00:20:28,320 --> 00:20:32,000
Speaker 1: hundred potentially four hundred billion a year.

358
00:20:32,600 --> 00:20:34,879
Speaker 3: I mean, we'll see it's been about forty billion dollars

359
00:20:34,960 --> 00:20:38,879
Speaker 3: that has been collected in the first two months of

360
00:20:38,920 --> 00:20:42,840
Speaker 3: these terroffts. I think it was twenty two billion in May,

361
00:20:43,240 --> 00:20:45,879
Speaker 3: just to give you an idea. Before the tariffs went

362
00:20:45,920 --> 00:20:48,919
Speaker 3: into place, they were collecting six seven billion dollars in

363
00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:50,000
Speaker 3: duties a month.

364
00:20:50,040 --> 00:20:52,920
Speaker 1: So the incidents are that they could go much depending

365
00:20:52,920 --> 00:20:54,520
Speaker 1: on what you think about July Nut, you could go

366
00:20:54,600 --> 00:20:56,560
Speaker 1: much higher and make it absolutely the make a dent

367
00:20:56,840 --> 00:20:57,200
Speaker 1: in there.

368
00:20:57,400 --> 00:21:00,439
Speaker 3: Yeah. So look, I mean we could be looking at uh,

369
00:21:00,760 --> 00:21:05,040
Speaker 3: you know, thirty billion dollars a month, almost four hundred

370
00:21:05,080 --> 00:21:09,280
Speaker 3: billion dollars a year in terms of tariff revenues before long.

371
00:21:09,680 --> 00:21:13,560
Speaker 3: That would absolutely make a dent in the costs of

372
00:21:13,800 --> 00:21:16,880
Speaker 3: the big beautiful bill. And this gets into also how

373
00:21:16,920 --> 00:21:20,800
Speaker 3: you score this thing. Economists will tell you though, that

374
00:21:20,840 --> 00:21:24,560
Speaker 3: four hundred billion dollars is tax revenues, and some people

375
00:21:24,640 --> 00:21:26,320
Speaker 3: have been out there saying this is the biggest tax

376
00:21:26,359 --> 00:21:29,320
Speaker 3: increase put in place in the US since the nineteen eighties.

377
00:21:29,480 --> 00:21:32,040
Speaker 3: And that's how we should be thinking about this, and

378
00:21:32,080 --> 00:21:34,560
Speaker 3: that in itself may be a drag on growth in

379
00:21:34,600 --> 00:21:38,920
Speaker 3: the economy, which might mean fewer tax revenues on the

380
00:21:38,920 --> 00:21:42,760
Speaker 3: income and business tax side the longer run. So I

381
00:21:42,760 --> 00:21:47,000
Speaker 3: mean yes, in theory today it offsets things, but the

382
00:21:47,080 --> 00:21:51,600
Speaker 3: economic effects of that tax increase are likely to pull

383
00:21:51,640 --> 00:21:53,679
Speaker 3: things down a little bit. And that's where if you

384
00:21:54,080 --> 00:21:57,200
Speaker 3: the Congressional budget off is. All sorts of fiscal geeks

385
00:21:57,560 --> 00:21:59,240
Speaker 3: in America have been looking at this, and one of

386
00:21:59,280 --> 00:22:01,199
Speaker 3: the things that are really strong with is how to account

387
00:22:01,280 --> 00:22:04,040
Speaker 3: for this tariff revenue and the impact of tariff's on

388
00:22:04,040 --> 00:22:06,440
Speaker 3: the economy. And it's the same thing over at the FED.

389
00:22:06,560 --> 00:22:10,840
Speaker 3: Because the US hasn't seen anything like this. I mean

390
00:22:10,920 --> 00:22:13,159
Speaker 3: that the only analog.

391
00:22:13,040 --> 00:22:14,600
Speaker 1: To since the nineteenth century.

392
00:22:14,680 --> 00:22:18,439
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, well is the nineteen thirty smooth Holly tariff

393
00:22:18,480 --> 00:22:19,119
Speaker 3: bill right.

394
00:22:19,160 --> 00:22:21,280
Speaker 1: Well, and before that, I would say, when we depended

395
00:22:21,320 --> 00:22:23,720
Speaker 1: more on tariff revenue than you know before.

396
00:22:23,400 --> 00:22:26,080
Speaker 3: What happened in the nineteenth century, Yeah, but when it

397
00:22:26,080 --> 00:22:29,200
Speaker 3: was a much smaller economy, government was much smaller, uh

398
00:22:29,359 --> 00:22:32,880
Speaker 3: and and so on. So, but that's a long time ago.

399
00:22:32,920 --> 00:22:35,880
Speaker 3: There aren't many living economists today who remember going through

400
00:22:36,160 --> 00:22:38,639
Speaker 3: the after effects of the nineteen thirty Smooth Holly tarifil.

401
00:22:38,640 --> 00:22:39,800
Speaker 3: There's plenty you have studied it.

402
00:22:40,400 --> 00:22:43,040
Speaker 1: Channel I in a sort of tax economist. I mean,

403
00:22:43,080 --> 00:22:45,240
Speaker 1: there are many things that are bad about tariffs, but

404
00:22:45,280 --> 00:22:49,840
Speaker 1: if you do end up with a fairly uniform ten

405
00:22:49,880 --> 00:22:52,680
Speaker 1: percent tariff raid You looked at the US in the

406
00:22:52,720 --> 00:22:55,000
Speaker 1: last twenty thirty years, like many countries, it has a

407
00:22:55,040 --> 00:22:59,600
Speaker 1: structural neat desire to have more spending on government services

408
00:22:59,640 --> 00:23:02,440
Speaker 1: than it wants to pay for in terms of taxes,

409
00:23:02,840 --> 00:23:05,480
Speaker 1: and the specific thing in the US has often been

410
00:23:05,520 --> 00:23:08,920
Speaker 1: a very great unwillingness to have high sales taxes compared

411
00:23:08,960 --> 00:23:11,119
Speaker 1: to Europe where you have a VAT and other things.

412
00:23:11,440 --> 00:23:14,480
Speaker 1: You could argue that this is a way of resolving

413
00:23:14,520 --> 00:23:17,439
Speaker 1: that that you've got a step change of you're going

414
00:23:17,480 --> 00:23:20,920
Speaker 1: to have a significant increase in your tariff revenue, which

415
00:23:20,960 --> 00:23:23,080
Speaker 1: is probably going to be felt by consumers, but they

416
00:23:23,119 --> 00:23:25,000
Speaker 1: don't see it in the same way for better or

417
00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:28,879
Speaker 1: worse as VAT. If it's broadly uniform with all of

418
00:23:28,880 --> 00:23:32,600
Speaker 1: the trading partners, and you have another belief alongside that

419
00:23:32,600 --> 00:23:34,719
Speaker 1: that people have been sort of trading off the US

420
00:23:34,760 --> 00:23:37,600
Speaker 1: and sort of you know, free loading off the US

421
00:23:37,680 --> 00:23:40,439
Speaker 1: superpower for this for a long time. You know, you

422
00:23:40,960 --> 00:23:43,560
Speaker 1: stop crazy. You're not necessarily comparing in the nineteen thirties.

423
00:23:43,560 --> 00:23:47,119
Speaker 1: You're comparing it with a sort of structural shift in

424
00:23:47,160 --> 00:23:48,040
Speaker 1: the global economy.

425
00:23:48,480 --> 00:23:50,800
Speaker 3: Absolutely, And you know we've forgotten about this now, But

426
00:23:51,080 --> 00:23:56,359
Speaker 3: Kamala Harris's whole political pitch against Donald Trump's tariffs was

427
00:23:56,680 --> 00:23:59,560
Speaker 3: to dub them a sales tax. This was a ten

428
00:23:59,560 --> 00:24:03,960
Speaker 3: percent sales tax that Donald Trump was pursuing on American consumers.

429
00:24:04,200 --> 00:24:06,919
Speaker 1: So Grits get interested when they hear the words sales tax.

430
00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:08,000
Speaker 1: They think, oh, that sounds great.

431
00:24:08,840 --> 00:24:11,720
Speaker 3: That's what I mean. There's a kind of economically sure,

432
00:24:11,760 --> 00:24:14,879
Speaker 3: you can rationalize anything, I think, including tariffs. But I

433
00:24:14,960 --> 00:24:18,680
Speaker 3: do think it's going to be interesting to see as

434
00:24:18,720 --> 00:24:21,600
Speaker 3: we see these things hit the economy, as we see

435
00:24:21,600 --> 00:24:24,639
Speaker 3: prices go up, and they will go up. I think

436
00:24:24,960 --> 00:24:28,800
Speaker 3: the political reaction is also going to be interesting. And

437
00:24:29,040 --> 00:24:31,000
Speaker 3: you know, we could go from a moment where in

438
00:24:31,040 --> 00:24:36,119
Speaker 3: twenty sixteen we're all talking about the backlash against globalization. Well,

439
00:24:36,440 --> 00:24:41,480
Speaker 3: you know, maybe in twenty twenty six in the midterm elections,

440
00:24:41,520 --> 00:24:44,960
Speaker 3: one of the narratives that emerges is a backlash against

441
00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:49,520
Speaker 3: tariffs and a back lass against papers. Now that's a

442
00:24:49,520 --> 00:24:53,760
Speaker 3: long way away. Smarter people than me will disagree with me,

443
00:24:53,880 --> 00:24:55,720
Speaker 3: but I think that is a possibility.

444
00:24:55,920 --> 00:24:57,840
Speaker 1: I'm sure Adam Smith would be proud if we were

445
00:24:57,840 --> 00:25:00,960
Speaker 1: all out on the streets campaigning against tarist. John Shawn,
