Coming up on Washington Week with The Atlantic:
Recession Fears on the Rise:
New warning signs emerged this week that President Trump’s unpredictable economic policies are negatively affecting the U.S. and global economies. His moves to shrink the federal government and impose tariffs on the country’s largest trading partners have rattled the markets and prompted warnings of a possible recession. Additionally, a new report shows employers are laying off workers at a rate that rivals the 2020 and 2009 recessions.
Joining guest moderator and staff writer at The Atlantic, Franklin Foer, to discuss this and more:
- Dan Balz, Chief Correspondent, The Washington Post
- Eugene Daniels, Chief Playbook and White House Correspondent, Politico
