How Trump’s Trade Deals Could Impact Jobs, Prices and Inflation

After months of sparring over tariffs, the Trump Administration says it has reached a deal with China on trade negotiations, but many businesses and consumers are still feeling uncertain about the economy.

We’ll talk about what the current tariff deals look like and what they could mean for jobs, prices and inflation.
