“Brutal and efficient” - should Starmer be a bit more Carney?

The News Agents

About this episode

Mark Carney’s election win in Canada has shown what a potent political force Trump can be - to those campaigning against his economic bullying. But could it have wider implications at home for Keir Starmer? Will the PM now feel more comfortable prioritising a trade deal with the EU over the US? And what does having an ally on America's border mean for the way the UK Government now deals with Trump?

Jon's been at an election watch party and is now headed to Detroit across the border - as Donald Trump marks his 100 days in office.

Later, Amazon vs Trump: why, according to the White House, it’s a "hostile act" for the consumer giant to tell its customers the truth about tariffs.
