Power & Politics | What is Trump's strategy?

U.S. President Donald Trump announced 125 per cent tariffs on China and a sudden 90-day pause on new tariffs on other countries — with Canada unaffected. CBC's Katie Simpson and Peter Armstrong sort through the confusion after the U.S. treasury secretary erroneously said Canada would face broad 10 per cent tariffs, and the Power Panel grades Trump's trade and economic performance during this 'reciprocal tariff' saga. Plus, the co-leaders of the Green Party argue against a 'two-party binary choice' between the Liberals and Conservatives, and say that proposals for fossil fuel development with net-zero emissions are 'not possible.'
