Every weekend, we take a closer look at what’s happening in US politics and what’s going on behind the scenes at the White House and on Capitol Hill.

  • BBC Sounds, music, radio, podcasts.

  • Hi there, I'm Katrina Perry.

  • Welcome to The President's Path on the Global Story Feed.

  • This week, I'm speaking to my fellow chief presenter here in Washington DC,

  • Sumi Somaskanda, and the BBC's senior reporter, Bernd De Boosman.

  • Hey, guys.

  • Again, a lot has happened since we last talked.

  • I mean, we've got a new US-UK trade deal, a new pope.

  • I think Bernie's got a new beard as well.

  • Yes, a beard in motion anyway.

  • All very exciting developments for everyone involved.

  • We have had some listener interaction,

  • which we love hearing from you guys is what you want us to talk about.

  • Bernie, over to you.

  • We do.

  • We have a question from Graham about the U.S.-Mexico border.

  • Graham asked, although Trump campaigned on building a wall along the border,

  • it appears there's been no significant developments or funding for this proposal in the first 100 now and plus days.

  • Do you think this leaves Trump vulnerable to criticism from his core power base,

  • his core supporters?
