The Trump administration has imposed tariffs on the US's three largest trading partners: Mexico, Canada and China. Canadian officials say twenty-five percent tariffs will come into force on Tuesday. We get the reactions on those import duties from former Mexican foreign Minister Jorge Castenada and Miles Yu, China advisor to former US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo. Also on the programme: the BBC visits the Panama Canal ahead of a US Secretary of State visit and; the Taliban has taken over the luxury Serena Hotel in Kabul, one correspondent tells us what it was like to stay there.
