Are the Dems Done with Tariffs? With Tom Wright

Tom Wright joins the podcast to unpack what last week’s big Democratic victories in the midterm elections mean for the future of U.S. trade and foreign economic policy. We discuss what the Democrats may try to achieve in Congress over the next two years and the longer term outlook for the Democratic Party’s foreign policy priorities in 2028 and beyond.

Tom Wright is a senior fellow with the Strobe Talbott Center for Security, Strategy and Technology at the Brookings Institution. Tom most recently served as special assistant to the president and senior director for strategic planning at the National Security Council in the Biden administration.
