21 分钟This is the Opinions, a show that brings you a mix of voices from New York Times Opinion.
You've heard the news.
Here's what to make of it.
I'm Patrick Healy, deputy editor of New York Times Opinion, and this is the First Hundred Days,
a weekly series examining President Trump's use of power and his drive to change America.
This is one of the most important days, in my opinion, in America, in history.
It's our declaration of economic independence.
President Trump's trillion dollar hike on imports has sent shockwaves across the globe.
The Dow, The S&P 500, and the NASDAQ were all down more than 3% at one point.
Global markets are also taking a hit.
This is not the act of a friend.
Europe has everything it needs to make it through the storm.
We are in this together.
If you take on one of us, you take on all of us.
As one expert on trade policy told the Times,
Trump has chosen to blow up the system governing international trade.
This week, I'm joined by Steve Ratner, a contributing writer to Times Opinion.
He writes about the economy and politics.
Steve's also the former head of President Obama's auto industry task force,
which got him nicknamed the Kar Czar.
