Dimitri Lascaris spoke with Costas Lapavitsas, a Professor of Economics from the University of London, about the dangerous repercussions of the Trump administration’s actions regarding tariffs. Since returning to the White House on January 20 of this year, Donald Trump and his advisers have rolled out one tariff threat after another, only to suspend his threats and then suddenly replace them with even more aggressive threats.

This video was produced by Reason2Resist and published on their YouTube channel on the 15th of April, 2025.
