Episode Description

The Trump Administration dubbed today "economic D-Day" for Iran. The plan calls for a severe intensification of sanctions on the country, pressuring America's allies to also cut any economic ties with Iran. We hear live from Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, who explains the administration's plans. At the same time, the trade war with Canada ramps up -- each side now planning a 50% tariff on incoming goods. Greg and Holly give their takes on both economic developments.
