Episode description
A huge U-turn from President Donald Trump on his sweeping tariffs. People were "getting a bit yippy", he said, introducing a 90-day pause on higher tariffs for most countries - but increasing those on China.
On Day 81, US correspondents Mark Stone and Martha Kelner and Asia correspondent Helen-Ann Smith discuss the trade war between the world's two biggest economies escalating even further, with a 125% tariff now on Chinese imports.
