President Donald Trump is poised to unleash his first wave of tariffs Saturday, sending foreign governments and businesses rushing to skirt potential duties and prepare for retaliation.
The targets are unlikely ones: Canada and Mexico, the two biggest buyers of US goods. Trump has pledged 25% tariffs on about $900 billion in goods from both nations, whose trade surpluses with the US have long chafed the president. Trump on Thursday vowed to follow through by his self-imposed Feb. 1 deadline, though the mercurial president has been known to change his mind. The Opening Trade has everything you need to know as markets open across Europe. With analysis you won’t find anywhere else, we break down the biggest stories of the day and speak to top guests who have skin in the game. Hosted by Anna Edwards, Guy Johnson and Tom Mackenzie.
