President Donald Trump is ramping up economic pressure abroad, from what his administration is calling “Economic D-Day” against Iran to a renewed trade fight with Canada.

Scripps News Political Director Andrew Rafferty and Chief Washington Correspondent Joe St. George break down how sanctions and tariffs are becoming key tools of Trump’s foreign policy, and what those moves could mean for Americans. They also examine the president’s push to lower beef prices by easing tariffs on foreign imports, a move that has angered U.S. cattle producers.
