Can President Trump keep Republican lawmakers on side? Caitríona Perry, Sumi Somaskanda and Bernd Debusmann look back at a week where we saw Congress push back against President Trump on key issues like the Epstein files, ICE presence in Minneapolis - and his tariffs. It wasn’t just from Democrats - some Republicans are speaking out against the President. Every weekend, The President’s Path explores the state of US politics — in Washington and beyond. We dig into the key issues shaping America and uncover what’s on the minds of those closest to power.

  • This BBC podcast is supported by ads outside the UK.

  • I've spent the last three decades trying to better understand money across the boardroom,

  • the newsroom, and the trading floor.

  • That's longer than most podcast hosts have been alive.

  • But even I've got questions.

  • Join me, Maren's on set web every week for my show, Maren Talks Money, from Bloomberg Podcasts,

  • where I have in-depth conversations with fund managers,

  • strategists, and experts about how markets really work.

  • and join me for a separate episode where I answer listener questions on how to make those markets work for you.

  • Follow Merrington's Money on Apple Podcast, Spotify, or wherever you listen.

  • Each week here on the President's Path,

  • we walk back along the latest actions of President Trump and his administration.

  • And this week, we are looking at many of the President's platforms,

  • which seem to be getting some pushback from his party colleagues.

  • And we're talking Epstein again.

  • I'm joined by my fellow Chief Presenter, Sumi Somaskanda,

  • and our White House reporter, Bern De Boesman.

  • Hi guys, here we are another week, another busy week.

  • Yeah, there's never really a quiet week around here,

  • but this one really has been an interesting one, hasn't it?
