The White House is using the U.S. dollar against its enemies—and allies. Following the announcement of Operation Economic Outcast against Iran at the same time USMCA negotiations with Canada have abruptly collapsed, political commentators like former Republican congressman Adam Kinzinger believe that Trump is closer than ever to wrecking the economy.

“The president is creating trade wars with people that aren’t enemies but literally our best friends and best trading partners. And this comes out of nowhere except for his own pride. It’s like a way that he can win at something. I feel like he’s probably out there feeling like a loser because of what’s going on in Iran.”

On this episode of What Next with guest host Rob Gunther, Kinzinger breaks down how these two events are impacting the world’s view of the U.S. as a superpower, what the trade war and its resulting tariffs mean for Canadians and Americans alike, and what he thinks is next for the Iran War.
