Trump on Trade: Go Global, or Go it Alone?

Money Talking | Jan 26, 2018

As President Trump speaks to heads of state and top business leaders at the World Economic Forum, his administration says he’ll focus on “free, fair, open and reciprocal trade,” in the words of Trump’s chief economic advisor Gary Cohn.

But at the same time, Trump put tariffs on foreign-made solar panels and washing machines this week and is threatening to pull out of NAFTA as negotiations to revise the nearly 30-year-old trade agreement get underway in Montreal.

So, do we really know the Trump administration’s stance on global trade, and what’s next? This week on Money Talking, Charlie Herman talks to CNN Money economics reporter Patrick Gillespie about what to expect from the White House when it comes to making deals with the world.
