The Spin

Republican narrative

Though unpleasant in the short term, these tariffs will ultimately return investment and jobs to America, making the country wealthier than it has ever been.

BBC News

Democratic narrative

These tariffs are creating a huge amount of uncertainty for investors, causing them to pull back from spending, and will do great harm to America's reputation as a trading partner, possibly taking years to rehabilitate. Hopefully cooler heads prevail and a change of policy is on the horizon.
