  • Why Donald Trump's tariffs are winning him some friends - but could push him and Elon Musk apart

    Why Donald Trump's tariffs are winning him some friends - but could push him and Elon Musk apart
    Apr 7 2025
    U.S. President Donald Trump's taxes on imports into the country have been causing turmoil on global stock markets and sparking concern from all corners of America. But as the Talking Politics USA team explore, there are plenty of people still right behind Mr Trump.

    Host Lucy Watson, correspondent Robert Moore and former Trump appointee Matthew Bartlett discuss why the president is so keen to stick to his guns on tariffs and whether his fellow Republicans will stand by him.

    One person seemingly opposed to the idea is the world's richest man and Trump adviser, Elon Musk. So could this hasten his departure from the administration?

  • Trump turns on Putin, tariff 'Liberation Day' looms, Trump talks up a THIRD term, and Musk's $1m Wisconsin voter payments

    Trump turns on Putin, tariff 'Liberation Day' looms, Trump talks up a THIRD term, and Musk's $1m Wisconsin voter payments

    Donald Trump could not hide his frustration over the lack of progress on a Russia-Ukraine ceasefire, saying he is 'p***ed off' at Vladimir Putin whilst also hitting out at Volodymr Zelenskyy for 'backing out' of a rare earth minerals deal. US Correspondent Dan Rivers, former White House staffer Laura Schwartz, and host Lucy Watson discuss where this leaves the Trump-Putin relationship, and whether he can still secure a ceasefire and peace deal.

    Also, the team discuss Trump's latest comments to NBC News about his plans for a third term in the White House being 'no joke'. Could it really happen, perhaps with JD Vance running for President then resigning, or is America heading for a constitutional crisis in 2028?

    Also on the agenda is Trump's tariff 'Liberation Day' on Wednesday, and whether Americans are as excited about the imposition of sweeping new tariffs as Trump himself is - and how it will affect store prices as well as key industries such as car manufacturing.

    Laura Schwartz describes how security really works inside the White House in light of the Houthi Signal group chat fiasco, and the team discuss why Elon Musk is controversially handing out $1 million dollars to voters ahead of Wisconsin's supreme court election on Tuesday.

    Mar 24 2025
    “It’s disgusting. It’s appalling …. there’s more of an uproar on grocery prices than the killings and the alignment with Russia…”

    In this episode of Talking Politics USA, Tom Bradby, Dan Rivers and Laura Schwartz react to the shocking pro-Putin sentiments being issued from Trump’s loyalists and the White House - in stark contrast to the brutality and war crimes Dan unearthed in Ukraine. The trio also discuss:
    • How Mark Carney is using Trump as the key campaign target for his bid to remain prime minister of Canada versus Pierre Poilievre.
    • Why Donald Trump’s tariff wars runs a major risk of alienating one section of core supporters.
    • How Vice President JD Vance and Trump envoy Steve Witkoff have deepened rifts with US allies while delighting the Kremlin.
    • Why Witcoff's warm words about Vladimir Putin have caused such offence amid peace negotiations over Ukraine.
    • The treasures in Greenland which have seen it become a territory of major interest to the Trump administration.
    • And why a painting hanging on the wall of the Colorado State Capitol building in 2019 has suddenly enraged Donald Trump.
