Donald Trump says the US has achieved a “total reset” in relations with China after both countries agreed to reduce tariffs on each other's goods for 90 days. Today Matt Chorley is joined by the full Americast ensemble to discuss whether this really marks the end of the trade war between the two nations. The team also assess the world’s reaction to the newly elected ‘woke’ pope across social media, and whether his stance on deportation will result in a head-to-head with Trump. And why might Qatar gift a 747 jet to the president?

  • BBC Sounds. Music, radio, podcasts.

  • We're just off the air after doing America Answers,

  • the weekly thing that we do on Five Live, live with Matt Chorley, and we answer questions.

  • And the first question that came up, and it's a huge one,

  • is about this plane that... apparently is going to be given to Donald Trump by the state of Qatar.

  • It's a new Air Force One and he's going to get to keep it or his library is going to get to keep it afterwards.

  • Is that potentially corrupt or is it all perfectly above board?

  • That was our first question.

  • It's a fascinating one.

  • And we talk quite a lot about Brits and the United States,

  • specifically what people in the United Kingdom are thinking about Donald Trump and the government there.

  • And then also a bit about the impact or not of the UK government on the US government and Donald Trump,

  • because there is a new ambassador in town in the United States.

  • Plus, as we were on air, news came in of China and tariffs.

  • Donald Trump actually speaking while we were on air, not unfortunately to us,

  • but at a press conference and saying all sorts of things that rather put several more cats among several sets of pigeons.

  • So we bring that to you as well.

  • Welcome to America Answers on Five Live.

  • I'm supportive of vaccines.

  • What is happening?
