The Trump card
What do President Trump's environmental reforms mean for the planet? Tom Heap and Helen Czerski investigate.
What does Donald Trump's second term as President of the United States mean for the environment? Since his re-election this year, Trump has moved to withdraw the USA from the Paris climate agreement, set about rewriting pollution standards, and ushered in a revival of fossil fuels. Helen Czerski and Tom Heap explore what these changes may mean from the planet, with a panel of commentators. The programme includes on-the-ground reports from Chicago and South Dakota.
