“This is the exorbitant privilege of being the world’s reserve currency … one of the things Trump is putting in danger,” says John Mauldin, New York Times best-selling author and co-founder of Mauldin Economics. He sits down with Daniela Cambone to break down the implications of the escalating trade war with China and the dangerous path the U.S. is headed toward—a potential recession. Mauldin criticizes oversimplified, blanket protectionist policies, such as high tariffs on poor countries, and strongly opposes the economic views of Peter Navarro. “I said eight years ago that Peter Navarro was the most dangerous economist in the country,” he says. Instead, Mauldin champions free trade, economic realism, and allowing businesses to operate without excessive government interference. Watch the video to learn Mauldin’s view on what investors should do now to safeguard their wealth.”
