This Wednesday marks a deadline in President Donald Trump’s effort to impose tariffs on countries around the globe importing goods into the United States.

BBC’s Jonathan Frewin in London joined The Show for a weekly look at some of the key global stories in the coming days, including what’s likely to happen after that Wednesday deadline.
