Hello, Americasters,
there are more of you now with us than ever before and we'd like to try to keep it that way.

Now on with the episode BBC Sounds Music Radio podcasts.
You know that old cliche about the global economy when they say if America sneezes,
the world catches a cold?
Well,
Donald Trump and the American economy seem to be running around barefoot in the rain right now,
doing whatever they can to catch some kind of virus
because there's a very strange self inflicted wound going on
as they've decided to put 25% tariffs on all cars that America buys from abroad and have pretty much tanked the stock market
while they're doing it.
And this is just the start of Donald Trump's tariff war.
So on AmericasT,
we're going to be discussing the impact on the global economy and we'll be talking about the impact on America's two closest allies.
What does this mean for the United Kingdom?
What does it mean for its relationship with Canada?
Where do both of those countries go from here?
Welcome to AmericasT.
