  • Hello, it's James.

  • Adam is off this week.

  • Thank you very much for joining us on Newscast, and guess what?

  • We're going to be talking about Donald Trump,

  • and we're going to be talking about tariffs, because events have been moving unbelievably quickly,

  • the markets have been plummeting all over the world,

  • and I'd love to know what questions you have about this, that we can try here at Newscast to answer.

  • So please get in touch with us, particularly if your business has impacted,

  • not only that, but particularly if you have a business that you're worried about,

  • please let us know, tell us what's happening, and we're going to be talking about that,

  • and a lot more about these tariffs on this episode of Newscast.

  • Hello, it's James in the studio, and goodness me,

  • there is a lot happening, stock markets falling all over the world because of those Trump tariffs.

  • The UK Prime Minister making a speech here, promising to defend British industry,

  • and then what might turn out to be the biggest development on Monday,

  • more threats from President Trump aimed squarely at Beijing, promising to have even tougher tariffs on them,

  • perhaps another sign that this trade war between the US and China is deepening.

  • A lot to discuss, and with me, Chris Mason, and Simon Jack, BBC Business Editor.

  • Hi, Simon.

  • Hello.
