Trump hikes China tariffs to 145%
China's president Xi Jinping is set to visit Vietnam, Cambodia and Malaysia next week as he seeks to strengthen trade ties with China's neighbours.
Asian markets are lower once again as investors closely watch the escalating tension between the US and China. President Trump has increased the tariffs on Chinese goods. We'll speak live to our correspondent in Beijing. And we'll hear from a Democratic Congressman, who had a spirited exchange with Mr Trump's trade representative on the tariffs, the strategy behind them, and their impact.
We'll speak to the former president of Costa Rica, who had his US visa revoked last week.
We'll also speak to the head of the UN refugee agency, Filippo Grandi, about the challenges facing refugees in Chad and elsewhere.
And we'll hear about a US Supreme Court decision ordering the US government to facilitate the return of a man wrongly deported to El Salvador.
