Who's winning Trump's trade war?

The World Tonight

Available for over a year

President Trump has agreed to pause the imposition of tariffs on Mexico and Canada by a month, in return for increased efforts to stop drug trafficking into the US. We ask whether President Trump is winning a trade war - and what lies behind his decision. Also tonight: The sister of Ruth Perry - the headteacher whose suicide prompted changes to Ofsted's school grading system - gives us her view on the proposed new system. And a pub scores an own goal by offering free pints for all seven goals Nottingham Forest scored at the weekend.
