Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky met Donald Trump at the White House today for the first time since US-Russia negotiations on ending the war in Ukraine began. During the meeting, he clashed with Trump and Vice President JD Vance, who told him he was being “disrespectful”. We hear reaction from Washington DC, Kyiv, and elsewhere in Europe. Also on the programme: Protests erupt across Greece on the second anniversary of a train crash that killed 57 people; and the Japanese documentary about sexual assault that could win an Oscar this weekend.

President Donald Trump on Thursday said that his proposed 25% tariffs on Mexico and Canada remain on track to go into effect next week, stating that drugs are still flowing in at unacceptable levels from our southern and northern borders. He also said he would increase levies on China. While Trump’s stance on tariffs has created some unease among investors, there is a lot of optimism as Congress appears to be moving closer to making the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 permanent, something the business world would welcome with open arms. Co-hosts of FOX Business ‘The Big Money Show,’ Taylor Riggs and Brian Brenberg, discuss how both Trump’s tariff and tax policies are his way of offering the world and American businesses a ‘new deal.’
