  • Tobin Marcus, Wolfe Research head of policy and politics, joins CNBC's 'The Exchange' to discuss what to expect from the new Trump administration on tariffs, what his base case is, and more.

The article from MSN discusses insights from Wolfe Research's Marcus on former President Donald Trump's tariff policies. Marcus suggests that Trump's approach to tariffs would likely be a blend of negotiation tactics and actual policy implementation. He explains that while Trump has historically used tariffs as leverage in trade negotiations, there is also a possibility that some tariffs could become permanent fixtures of U.S. trade policy if Trump were to return to office. Marcus highlights that this dual strategy aims at both forcing trade partners to the negotiation table and protecting domestic industries, although it could lead to increased costs for consumers and potential trade wars. The discussion also touches on the broader implications for global trade relations and the U.S. economy, indicating a complex interplay between economic strategy and political posturing.
