Van and Macca are joined live on air, by Bruce Wolpe, commentator, Senior Fellow (non-resident) at the United States Studies Centre. Bruce is a regular contributor on US politics across media platforms in Australia. In recent years, Bruce has worked with the Democrats in Congress during President Barack Obama’s first term, and on the staff of Prime Minister Julia Gillard. He has also served as the former PM’s chief of staff.
Wolpe writes, in his latest article, see link below, that “Donald Trump loved “Liberation Day”. There he was on Wednesday afternoon, launching the biggest global trade war since the 1930s – the one that ultimately fuelled the Great Depression. Trump effectively sent flowers and a card signed “America First” to grace the tombstones of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) and the World Trade Organisation. Together, they had spawned more than 75 years of global liberalisation of commerce and economic growth. From the Rose Garden, a farewell kiss from the White House”
