President Trump has spent his first year back in office blurring the lines between business and government.
The administration has bought shares in private companies like Intel and Nvidia, as well as others involved in mining and energy. Trump has also publicly pressured CEOs and forced the restructuring of social media giants like TikTok.
NPR financial correspondent Maria Aspan says that’s generating a lot of questions, and worries, about the future of the U.S. economy.
