Trump, Tariffs, Taylor, Texts

from Newscast Hosted by BBC News

Today, we look at President Trump’s announcement that he will impose 25% tariffs on all steel and aluminium imports into the U.S. He made the announcement to reporters aboard Air Force One after becoming the first sitting president to attend the Super Bowl, where he and Taylor Swift got mixed reactions from the crowd. Adam and Chris talk about the implications of the tariffs for the UK and the rest of the world with Sumi Somaskanda, BBC News chief presenter in Washington. And we look at the latest suspension of a Labour Party MP as more WhatsApps are leaked. You can now listen to Newscast on a smart speaker.
