America is changing and so is the world.
But what's happening in America isn't just the cause of global upheaval.
It's also a symptom of disruption that's happening everywhere.
I'm Asma Khalid in Washington DC.
I'm Tristan Redman in London and this is The Global Story.
Every weekday we'll bring you a story from this intersection where the world and America meet.

Hello and welcome to NewsHour.
It's coming to you live from the BBC World Service Studios in central London.
I'm Tim Franks and I'm speaking to you unusually not looking at my computer screen or looking at my script but looking at a bank of television monitors
because we're expecting any moment now for there to be a joint news conference between Donald Trump and Keir Starmer at the end of Donald Trump's second state visit to the United Kingdom state visit
because his host has been King Charles and he's had all the and pomp and flummary and partying which goes along with that.
That happened by and large yesterday and culminated in a glittering banquet at Windsor Castle.
Today has been more about the politics and he's been at the Prime Minister's country residence not far from Windsor Castle to discuss some of what you might imagine to be maybe the more gnarly issues such as Ukraine Gaza,
of course, as well as trade deals and trade wars.
There has been a trade deal that has been announced today.
The British Prime Minister held it as the biggest deal, I should say,
that has ever been signed of its nature between the two countries.
$250 billion worth, he reckoned he'd valued it at.
