Trump's tariffs ignite global trade tensions

Big Boss Interview

Available for over a year

On the programme, we'll explore the ripple effects of U.S. tariffs on Canada, Mexico, and China. President Trump is scheduled to address Congress, during which he is expected to discuss new U.S. trade tariffs and the situation in Ukraine. This address marks his first major speech since returning to the White House. Plus, we'll examine how these tariffs could lead to higher car prices for U.S. motorists. And the Chinese government presents a review of its achievements last year and economic goals for 2025 before the annual meeting of China’s rubber stamp parliament, the National People’s Congress.
