About this episode
Donald Trump's tariffs have re-entered the chat. The US President's latest announcement — primarily the potential for steep tariffs on pharmaceuticals — has renewed uncertainty of an ongoing global trade war.
But has the news also helped Labor move the conversation on from yesterday's sting of an RBA rate hold?
And the Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has confirmed he'll be visiting China soon — but does Trump's latest tariff news renew the need for an urgent US visit?
Patricia Karvelas and Brett Worthington break it all down on Politics Now.
