Abstract
With hours to go before President Trump’s deadline, dozens of countries are facing the possibility of significant tariffs that could go into effect. But there’s uncertainty around the deadline as Trump announced a 90-day extension for Mexico. Amna Nawaz discussed more with Jason Furman, an economics professor at the Harvard Kennedy School and the former head of the Council of Economic Advisers.
