Trump tariffs trigger massive US stocks sell-off

The World Tonight

Available for over a year

Global stocks have sunk a day after President Donald Trump announced sweeping new tariffs on goods imported to the United States. The UK government is continuing to push for a trade deal with Washington DC. We ask what options it has and speak to a business leader present at a roundtable with the Prime Minister in Downing Street this morning. Hungary says it's quitting the International Criminal Court in protest at its decision to issue an arrest warrant for Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. We speak to the Hungarian government and an international human rights lawyer. And the countdown begins to the Women's World Cup in 2035, which will be hosted in the UK.
