Unlike tariffs, a new form of protectionism could target climate-wrecking, untaxed corporations and their billionaire ownersGabriel Zucman is a French economistHow should Europe respond before Donald Trump’s policies destabilise the global economy? All countries will soon have to take a stand on the new US president’s tariff threats.
