Trump officials defend sweeping tariffs

Description:

After US President Donald Trump imposed a baseline of 10% trade tariffs on most countries, more than 50 of those hit by the taxes have reportedly reached out to his administration to negotiate. US Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick, however, says steeper tariffs due to be imposed upon such nations will “of course” be implemented. We get reaction from an economist who served in the Biden administration.

Also in the programme: Israel says it made a mistake when it opened fire on a convoy of aid workers in Gaza; and which plays and theatre stars look set to win at Britain’s famous Olivier awards?
