In this episode of On Wealth & Progress, Todd Sheets breaks down one of the most controversial and misunderstood topics in U.S. policy  President Trump’s new tariffs on China and what they really mean for America’s future.

You’ll learn:
• Why both Republicans and Democrats have criticized Trump’s trade strategy.
• How tariffs became a key part of his long-term plan to “decouple” from China.
• Why the so-called “TACO” criticism (Trump Always Chickens Out) misses the point.
• How raising and then lowering tariffs was part of a deliberate negotiation strategy.
• What the latest deal with Xi Jinping really means for U.S. supply chains, rare-earth minerals, and inflation.

Todd also explains how decades of outsourcing to China helped fund its rise and why Trump’s gradual approach may be the only realistic way to unwind America’s dependence without crashing the economy.

If you care about global trade, economics, or America’s long-term strength, this episode offers the big picture behind the headlines.
