The trade war is escalating. The world’s two biggest economies - the USA and China - are now going head to head on tariffs, with Donald Trump threatening Xi Jinping with an extra 50% tariff if China doesn’t withdraw its own 34% counter-tariff, which itself was a reciprocal response to Trump’s original tariff set out last week.
Amid fears of a global recession, Camilla and Kamal are joined in the studio by former Tory leader and eminent China-hawk Iain Duncan Smith, who says the President is right to take on Beijing with the world having turned a blind eye for too long. He also explains how Chinese soldiers have been caught fighting for Russia in Ukraine.
Plus, Prince Harry is back in the UK, this time to take on the Home Office, as he arrives at the High Court to argue the case for taxpayer-funded security whenever he is in the country. We get the latest from our deputy royal editor Victoria Ward, who’s inside the court. And Camilla reviews Meghan Markle’s new podcast “Confessions of a Female Founder” - warning, it’s not pretty.
