What olive oil tells us about Trump's tariffs

Podcast cover

The Indicator from Planet Money

This NPR Planet Money Indicator podcast episode discusses the impact of President Trump's tariffs on the olive oil industry, specifically focusing on the experiences of Olio Piero, a small olive oil producer in Tuscany. The interview features NPR's financial correspondent, Maria Aspin, who recently visited the Olio Piero groves and interviewed the sibling founders. The discussion highlights the challenges faced by European olive oil producers due to the tariffs, including increased costs and uncertainty, and their strategies to adapt, such as expanding to new markets. The podcast also touches upon the broader economic implications of tariffs and the inaccuracy of the claim that the burden falls solely on foreign exporters.
