As Trump threatens to double tariffs on China, the trade war between two of the world's largest economies is rapidly intensifying. China has declared it will “fight to the end,” while Trump insists he won’t back down. With tensions rising, the world is watching: Will Trump be forced to admit this was a mistake? Who will blink first? And how will this escalating trade war impact the global economy, financial markets, and international relations?

Later, we speak to pollster Luke Tryl from More in Common about how voters in the UK are reacting to all this chaos — and how Keir Starmer is navigating the fallout. What does this mean for Britain’s position on the world stage?
