Americanswers…on 5 Live! Is Trump worried about the US economy?

Donald Trump has not ruled out the possibility of the US going into recession. Sarah, Anthony, Justin and Marianna answer your questions on how Trump’s trade war is impacting on stock markets and American voters. Plus, is the new Canadian PM, Mark Carney is escalating the war on tariffs? Also, how could the Democrats be more effective as an opposition voice, and why have we seen an influx of memes about the Vice President JD Vance? The Americast team joins Matt Chorley on 5 Live to answer all of your questions. This episode was made by Rufus Gray and Catherine Fusillo. The technical producers were Mike Regaard and Dafydd Evans. The series producer is Purvee Pattni. The senior news editor is Sam Bonham.
