Trump, Tariffs and Taxes: How He’ll Turn Campaign Promises Into Policy

President-elect Donald Trump made lots of promises on the campaign trail to revive what he called a “weakened” U.S. economy. That includes “gigantic tax cuts” for workers and tariffs of more than 60% on goods imported from China and elsewhere. He also pledged to slash regulations, even floating the idea of making Tesla CEO Elon Musk the head of a Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE. But how will he turn those economic promises into reality? WSJ economic policy reporter [Brian Schwartz] (https://www.wsj.com/news/author/brian-schwartz) and U.S. tax policy reporter [Richard Rubin] (https://www.wsj.com/news/author/richard-rubin) explain how Trump could take executive action, where he might need help from Congress and why some business leaders may put up resistance to some of his economic plans.
