The Business Leader team are joined by the political editor of The Times Steven Swinford to cover what you need to know about the tariffs

What do President Trump's tariffs mean for politics, the global economy, businesses and consumers? What is going to happen next? And what is going on in the corridors of power?

The Business Leader team – Graham Ruddick, Sarah Vizard, Dougal Shaw and Josh Dornbrack – are joined by the political editor of The Times and Business Leader columnist Steven Swinford to cover what you need to know about the tariffs and the meltdown in financial markets.
