About this episode

As President Donald Trump threatens new tariffs on Mexican goods, retaliatory ones between China and America are starting to bite.

And a visit to Venice’s Biennale, where immigration and climate change are taking centre stage. <hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
