Episode notes

The US stock markets have plummeted to the lowest level this year following Trump's flip-flop policy on tariffs. 

US correspondents Mark Stone, James Matthews and Martha Kelner discuss what Trump's uncertainty could mean for the economy as he refuses to rule out a recession. 

Plus Martha is in Canada as new prime minister, Mark Carney, is in town. She's investigating Trump's claims that Canada is largely responsible for the US fentanyl epidemic. 

And - the Black Lives Matter Plaza in Washington is being dismantled following pressure from the president. Mark has been to the site to get reaction from locals.
