Fears of global trade war
World markets have reacted to the prospect of a widening trade war.
Shares in the US, Mexico and Canada have all opened down as businesses react with alarm to Mr Trump's trade tariffs. We answer audience questions about why the US has announced tariffs and hear from people who could be affected.
We speak to our correspondents to hear about the reaction in Mexico, China, Canada and Europe.
Presenter: Mark Lowen.
