Americast - Canada tests the limits of Trump's power - BBC Sounds

Canada’s trade fight with the United States has intensified after Prime Minister Mark Carney walked away from negotiations to reach a new trade deal. In response, he declared up to 50% retaliatory tariffs on hundreds of American goods, a move discussed in the BBC Sounds podcast Americast. The episode weighs how the U.S.’s closest ally is pushing back—and whether the dispute could become a political problem for President Donald Trump as midterm elections approach. The program also marks the death of musical legend Dolly Parton at age 80, reflecting on her reputation for quick wit and cross-party appeal.
