Trump campaigned on tariffs, emulating the protectionist policies of William McKinley. He believes this will shelter domestic industries and bring jobs back to the US, but critics claim this will set off a trade war that will increase prices on consumer goods. What impact might all this have on the working class, not just in the US but around the world? How should workers orient themselves toward it, and should it affect the way they organize?
The event was held @woodbine.nyc in Ridgewood, Queens.
