HAM71- Tariffs, Short-Term Pain, Long-Term Gain: Christian Briggs on Trump’s Trade Gamble - Hard Asset Money Show

Economist Christian Briggs unpacks the first 24 hours of President Trump’s new tariff strategy, explaining why the immediate inflationary pinch could lead to a stronger, fairer U.S. trade landscape. While acknowledging higher short-term costs for everyday goods, Briggs points to Trump’s tactical negotiations—especially with China—as a pathway to long-term economic growth. He forecasts a potential $12 trillion injection into the economy through retirement account reforms, coupled with tax cuts or eliminations for middle-income earners. According to Briggs, Americans may start to see the benefits within 6–12 months and feel them fully in 12–18, as strategic trade deals and domestic investment take root.
