New 10% global tariff announced by Trump
After Supreme Court ruling, Trump announces replacement 10% global tariff.
We start with the US Supreme Court ruling that President Trump exceeded his powers when he imposed additional tariffs on many of America’s trading partners. The Court said the President was not authorised to use national emergency laws to impose the import taxes, which may now have to be refunded.
Then to India, where global tech leaders met in Delhi this week at a summit to discuss the future of AI.
Also, Reverend Jesse Jackson IV died this week at the age of eighty. His death prompted an outpouring of tributes from across the US political spectrum and beyond. His 1972 appearance on the children’s show Sesame Street was also widely remembered. We'll hear from his son.
