In this episode of The Youth Ledger, we unpack a whirlwind week of economic and geopolitical upheaval: Trump’s fresh wave of tariffs on allies like Canada and Japan, market reactions from Wall Street to the FTSE, and growing inflation concerns within the Fed. Plus, we explore the UK's shrinking economy, Taiwan's massive military drills, Russia's recognition of the Taliban, and what the latest Prime Day spending says about the American consumer. Tune in as we connect the dots between policy, power, and the global economy’s growing pains.
