Wall Street Week tells the stories of capitalism from around the world, hosted by David Westin in New York.

Wall Street Week

This week, can Congress delegate its authority over trade and tariffs to the president? The Supreme Court questioned the Trump Administration’s argument that a statute passed by Congress gives the president the power to impose worldwide tariffs. But if the Court disagrees with the administration, who pays - and how much? And, New York City’s mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani vows to make the city more affordable, but business leaders say that it’s more complicated than it seems. Plus, Health and Human Services Secretary RFK Jr. claims doctors are reaping big profits from vaccines, but pediatricians say that’s far from the truth: high costs of running a practice, low reimbursement rates, and misinformation are pushing pediatricians to the brink. Later, why are Americans eating so much protein? President Trump reached a deal with drugmakers Eli Lilly and Novo Nordisk to make GLP-1s more accessible to more of the American population, and protein producers - new and old - could stand to gain.
