Exclusive Daniel Yergin on Trump's tariffs: The end of an era for free trade and globalization
In an exclusive conversation with Al Arabiya News' Hadley Gamble, Pulitzer Prize-winning author and economic historian Daniel Yergin warns that US President Donald Trump's new tariff regime marks a historic shift away from free trade. Yergin calls it a 'great recalibration,' signaling a break from decades of global economic integration, with rising trade nationalism, an uneven energy transition, and deepening geopolitical rifts. He also cautions that America's new factories may not bring back jobs and that the green agenda is colliding with the hard math of global energy demand.

Sub-head: 'How to find a pragmatic path forward.' Yergin's credentials are impeccable and the title is uncontroversial.
