Trump vs China, bail reform, asylum seekers to Canada, and more
About this episode
U.S. President Donald Trump has made another surprise announcement – dropping tariffs against most countries to 10 per cent. The major exception – China. That country will see a jump to 125 per cent. Trump’s moves have roiled the stock market, and the foundation of the financial system – the bond market. Our senior business correspondent Peter Armstrong explains what it all means.
And: On the federal election campaign trail, the Conservatives are pitching a “three strikes and you’re out” policy on bail reform. But is it constitutional?
Also: Another Trump policy is having an effect in Canada – leading to a sudden rise in the number of asylum seekers arriving from the U.S.. A surge that began after the Trump administration ended protections for some refugees.
Plus: Dozens dead after Israeli airstrike, shortage of skilled tradespeople in Canada, and more.
