President Donald Trump just announced plans for a new round of U.S. tariffs on European products. The list includes aircraft materials, wine, cheese, motorcycles ... and even escargots.

Today on the show, a look at what's behind this latest round of proposed tariffs — and what this means for the economies of Europe and the U.S. (and also cheese lovers everywhere).
