Trump’s Trade War: U.S. Empire in Free Fall
Richard Wolff on The Socialist Program
On The Socialist Program, Richard Wolff joins Brian Becker to examine Trump’s trade war with China as a sign of U.S. economic desperation. They explore how escalating tariffs and financial tensions could spiral into a capital war—or worse, a military conflict. The conversation critiques America’s weakened industrial base, its reliance on finance, and the broader risks these pose to global stability and the middle class.
