Episode notes

The Irish prime minister Micheál Martin visited the Oval office on Wednesday, but any St Patrick’s day spirit was overshadowed by tariffs.   

The EU and Canada have responded to Trump with reciprocal tariffs – putting the US at the front and centre of a global trade war.   

US correspondents Mark Stone and Martha Kelner speak to Ireland correspondent Stephen Murphy about how the Irish PM handled Trump – and they discuss why other EU leaders will be taking note.   

Plus, Martha reports on how Canadians are feeling after the break-up of the US-Canada special relationship.
