There were big promises of deals being struck around the world after Donald Trump announced his 鈥渞eciprocal鈥� tariffs back in April. But those promises - 鈥�90 deals in 90 days鈥� - are yet to materialise and now the president has moved the deadline for those deals from July to August.

The president said the plan was always to wait until August for tariffs to take effect, but not everyone鈥檚 convinced. Trump had already been give the 鈥楾ACO鈥� nickname by Wall Street for not following through on his threats, and the latest delay on tariffs show the difficulty he鈥檚 having in bringing America鈥檚 trading partners on board.

For this episode, Marianna Social Media Investigations Senior Correspondent and Anthony Zurcher, North America correspondent, are joined by 蜜芽传媒 economics editor Faisal Islam, who talks through how many countries are fighting back against the US, who may also start to feel pressure from his own supporters if prices continue to rise at home.
