Who does President Trump’s tariffs hit hardest? | BBC News
Today, we look at Sir Keir Starmer being the first UK Prime Minister to join a gathering of EU leaders since Brexit. Meanwhile, President Trump has unveiled his much promised tariffs.
Starmer says the trip is part of what he calls a “reset” between the UK and European Union.
It comes as President Trump says the US will “definitely” impose trade tariffs on the EU. This follows Trump imposing tariffs on Mexico, Canada and China this weekend – only for the tariffs on Mexico to be reversed. Meanwhile, Canada’s Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has hit back with a 25% tariff, marking the beginning of a trade war between the neighbouring countries. Adam and Chris are joined by BBC economics editor Faisal Islam.
And, what is the future for the EU in the face of tariffs and internal disputes? Adam speaks to Katya Adler, BBC Europe editor.

A diplomat’s job is traditionally to represent their country’s interests while maintaining good relations with their host nation. But some of Donald Trump’s ambassadors are taking a different approach.
On Tuesday, Kimberly Guilfoyle resigned from her ambassadorship in Greece after serious allegations were raised about her conduct. According to reporting by the Wall Street Journal, the former fiancée of Donald Trump Jr. allegedly asked a Trump donor to pay off her $100,000 Amex bill — allegations she denies.
Guilfoyle is not the only ambassador to have caused a stir. US envoys around the world have sparked diplomatic rows, controversy and, in some cases, appeared to step beyond the traditional boundaries of their role.
What do Donald Trump’s ambassador picks, and their conduct, tell us about the new way that America does diplomacy?
Reuters’ senior White House correspondent, Humeyra Pamuk, breaks down how Trump’s ambassadors are breaking with tradition.

Katie Zacharia is “transitioning out” of her role as White House press secretary, the White House has confirmed to the BBC.
They did not provide a timeline for when she would be leaving the position.
US President Donald Trump earlier said he told Zacharia to “reconsider” her role.
He said he told her, “You don’t have to do this”, after her debut in the briefing room earlier this week.
Zacharia has been treated “very, very badly” by the media in recent days, Trump told reporters outside the White House.
