The Architect of Trump’s Tariff Plan on Correcting the “Broken” Global Order

$166 billion. This is the sum the Trump administration has been ordered to refund to U.S. companies that paid tariffs, two months after the Supreme Court struck down Donald Trump's import taxes. Former U.S. Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer defends the president's tariff regime, arguing that the free trade system has failed the global economy. Lighthizer joins Walter Isaacson.
