On April 5, 2025, NPR reported on former President Donald Trump’s implementation of extensive tariffs in an attempt to reverse the effects of globalization. This initiative was discussed on NPR’s “All Things Considered” program and authored by journalists Scott Horsley and Asma Khalid.
The report covered Trump’s strategy of imposing broad tariffs, which aimed to shift away from the global trade integrations that had been a significant economic focus for decades. This approach was seen as a move to realign domestic economic policies, potentially altering existing international trade dynamics. The analysis included reactions from various stakeholders about the implications of these tariffs on the United States’ economic stance and international relations.
