In this episode of Talking Politics, Tom Bradby, Robert Peston and Anushka Asthana discuss how Donald Trump’s humiliating climbdown in the global tariffs trade war has handed an advantage to Vladimir Putin in the Russia-Ukraine conflict.
The trio also discuss:
The new pressures on the US president and how it makes it harder for Keir Starmer, Emmanuel Macron and other European leaders to defend Volodymyr Zelenskyy from the White House.
How damaged Donald Trump is politically from the economic damage sparked by his global tariffs.
The fallout from the Supreme Court gender row as Kemi Badenoch confronts Keir Starmer on his changing position on the definition of a woman.
The political risk if the Conservatives adopt Robert Jenrick’s strategy to do a political deal with Nigel Farage’s Reform.
Plus, Robert and Anushka reveal what they learned from being accidentally added into Shadow Justice Secretary Jenrick’s WhatsApp group.
