This summer on Planet Money Summer School, we're learning about political economy.
We're getting into the nitty gritty of what government does with things like trade,

Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Corva Coleman.
President Trump is on his way to Scotland for four days.
He will visit his golf courses there.
He'll also meet with British Prime Minister Keir Starmer.
Before he left this morning, Trump spoke to reporters at the White House.
He says that there's a 50-50 chance of reaching a trade deal with the European Union.
He says talks with the EU are ongoing and he compared it to the deal struck with Japan earlier this week.
But they want to make a deal very badly.
I would have said we have a 25 percent chance with Japan.
And they kept coming back and we made a deal.
Meanwhile, more big companies are reporting tariffs pain, but investors are shrugging it off,
sending the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq to a series of record highs.
