Within hours of the Spring Statement yesterday, the Government was left scrambling to negotiate with the US as President Trump introduced a whopping 25% tariff on all car imports - including from Britain.
The news comes during a busy time for the White House, which is already dealing with the fall out from those leaked Signal messages. So, as the shock of his second election victory subsides and the world settles in for another tumultuous four years, how do we live with President Trump?
Cleo Watson and Tim Stanley are joined by Emily Jashinsky, D.C. correspondent for UnHerd magazine, to unpack the latest news from across the pond.
Plus, Kamal is at a major leadership event in Cornwall, speaking to Kemi Badenoch about Trump’s latest tariffs, as she warns of a possible trade war and the impact of net zero.

Rachel Reeves has delivered her plans for the UK economy during her Spring Statement in the House of Commons today, pledging to “secure Britain’s future.”
Indeed, in a stark warning, the Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR) signalled that Labour's overhaul of workers' rights will have “material” and probably negative impacts on the economy, and it looks likely that the Chancellor risks being forced into more tax rises with her plans.
Camilla is live from Westminster, reacting to today's announcements with Labour MP and Mission Champion for Economic Growth Dan Tomlinson and Shadow Secretary of State for Business and Trade Andrew Griffith.
Plus, Reform UK's Richard Tice reacts to the statement and the latest developments with the Rupert Lowe feud.

The Chancellor of the Exchequer will deliver the 2025 Spring Statement in the House of Commons on Tuesday.
Rachel Reeves' plan is to tell us all the things Labour has achieved so far, but British households and businesses are increasingly pessimistic about the state of the economy. Sluggish growth and ever higher borrowing costs mean cuts, cuts and more cuts are on the way.
Kamal and Camilla speak to the owner of a hairdressing business who’s already been affected by Rachel Reeves’ autumn budget and is dreading the new rules that come into place next week.
Plus, we’ll be joined by The Telegraph's Janet Daley for her reaction to Donald Trump’s inner circle accidentally adding a journalist to a group chat discussing top-secret war plans.

Several days on from Heathrow's 18-hour shutdown caused by a fire at an electrical substation, the recriminations and the blame-shifting are well underway.
Thomas Woldbye, Heathrow’s CEO, is taking the brunt of the criticism, after reports at the weekend that he went to bed at 12.30am on Friday morning instead of directly overseeing the airport's response.
Meanwhile, the boss of the National Grid told the Financial Times that Heathrow could have stayed open with energy from two other substations.
So who is to blame? And what does it say about Britain's infrastructure that a fire at a substation was enough to close the fourth-busiest airport in the world?
Plus, five years on from the Covid lockdowns, we speak to a primary school head teacher about the consequences it had on children's development.

The far-right activist Tommy Robinson has lost a High Court challenge over the conditions of his imprisonment at HMP Woodhill, with a judge ruling he must stay in isolation for his own safety.
One man who has argued for Robinson’s release – wrongly labelling him a political prisoner silenced for exposing the brutality of the Pakistani rape gangs – is billionaire X owner Elon Musk.
So how has Robinson found this new following amongst Trump’s “new right” fan base? How has he repositioned himself as the victim of an establishment conspiracy?
In this special edition of the Daily T, Camilla goes to Luton in search of the real Tommy Robinson, asking those who’ve worked with him how he has come to be hailed as a folk hero – and where his motivations truly lie.

It’s the show that’s got the whole nation talking.
The Netflix drama Adolescence - about a young thirteen year old boy who becomes a murder suspect - has opened up a raft of conversations about what our children are up to online.
Camilla and Kama speak to Michael Conroy, the founder of Men at Work which supports the development of boys and young men, about the problematic role models children see online and what more parents can do.
Later, they ask John Player, the headteacher of a school in Essex, what his pupils learnt from going phone-free for three weeks.

Well he may have written The Art of the Deal - but so far Donald Trump is finding that trying to do a deal with Vladimir Putin is a somewhat different kettle of fish.
Just hours after Trump's "very productive" call with his Russian counterpart - Putin continued his attack on Ukraine, including on some energy infrastructure - something Putin had pledged to put an end to immediately in his call.
With Ukraine responding in kind with drone attacks and the two countries seemingly no nearer to peace, Kamal and Camilla ask - is Vladimir Putin simply laughing at Donald Trump?
They're also joined in the studio by former Conservative MP Mark Field, whose new book contains fascinating insights into life under three successive Tory Prime Ministers, the contretemps when he manhandled an environmental protestor and his marriage-ending affair with a certain Liz Truss...

After weeks of pitch-rolling, Labour has finally unveiled what are probably the Government's most controversial reforms since entering office.
Liz Kendall, the Work and Pensions Secretary, announced a huge swathe of cuts to the welfare system, including billions of pounds worth of disability benefits.
Kamal and Camilla talk through the changes and why they've riled up Labour backbenchers, then ask Helen Whately, the shadow work and pensions secretary, what she thinks.
Plus, Kemi Badenoch gave a speech announcing her opposition to the UK's 2050 net zero target. She seems to be finding her voice, but will it cut through with the public?

As Nigel Farage announced 29 councillors had defected to Reform, the message was clear: his party wants to move on from its row with suspended MP Rupert Lowe.
Farage welcomed his latest recruits in a central London press conference, and with fifteen of those councillors having crossed over from the Conservatives, Kemi Badenoch no doubt has an even bigger headache than before as Reform continue to lead her party in the polls ahead of May's local elections.
But the elephant in the room was last week's Reform civil war, after MP Rupert Lowe was suspended from the party over allegations of verbal threats and workplace bullying - allegations he denies. Farage himself addressed the issue in his speech, saying that it had caused "consternation" but that the "upset is very much at the edges"
Camilla caught up with Nigel Farage after the press conference to ask him whether he was capable of being the next Prime Minister if he can't keep a party of five MP's in check.
And then once she was reunited with Kamal, they also reflected on the reporting this weekend that Farage had dinner with former Boris Johnson advisor and Brexit architect Dominic Cummings, in order to discuss how the Conservatives and Reform could work together to "unite the right".

The Kremlin has said it is “cautiously optimistic” about a ceasefire in Ukraine after a late-night meeting with the US envoy Steve Witkoff. But Putin will need a phone call with President Trump to settle any outstanding issues.
Kamal and Cleo speak to ally of President Trump, Secretary Robert Wilkie, and Ukraine: The Latest presenter Dom Nicholls who was with the UK Defence Secretary John Healey when he travelled to Paris for the emergency security summit this week.
And as an exclusive Telegraph poll reveals that Reform is likely to win big in the local elections, we assess the state of play in Westminster - with trouble brewing for the Government. The PM faces a rebellion on welfare cuts next week and there are more economic headwinds for Rachel Reeves with her spring statement fast approaching...

The Prime Minister has pledged to tackle Britain’s “overcautious, flabby state”, admitting that record taxation and spending in recent years have not led to improvement in our front-line services.
The first to go in his shake-up is NHS England, which will be abolished to “cut bureaucracy” and bring management of the health service back under the Government. But do the plans really go far enough?
Kamal and Camilla are joined by The Telegraph’s resident waste watcher Dia Chakravarty to find out exactly how the government is squandering your hard-earned taxes.
And after the family of murdered MP David Amess were denied an inquiry into his death earlier this week, we spoke to his daughter Katie and the family representative Radd Seiger outside Downing Street after a meeting with Sir Keir Starmer and Home Secretary Yvette Cooper, in which some tentative progress was made.

The ball is in Vladimir Putin’s court today after the US and Ukraine reached a ceasefire proposal at a meeting in Saudi Arabia, in what marked a dramatic change of tone in Washington-Kyiv relations.
Kyiv said it is ready to accept a US proposal for an immediate 30-day ceasefire. Ukraine’s president Volodymyr Zelensky said it was now up to the US to convince Russia.
So what is Putin’s next move? Kamal and Camilla ask Kremlinologist Emily Ferris about the Russian president’s thinking and whether there is any kind of succession plan in Moscow.
Elsewhere, in a remarkable development, it transpires that the captain of the Portuguese-flagged ship that crashed into an oil tanker transporting American fuel in the North Sea on Monday was Russian. We ask former Royal Navy Commander Tom Sharpe about this latest twist.

Fears have set in over a potential American recession thanks to Donald Trump’s on-again off-again trade wars. Just today the president doubled tariffs on Canadian metals to a whopping 50pc.
Shares are dropping like flies amid the uncertainty, with Elon Musk’s Tesla one of the worst hit. Meanwhile Trump is saying the economy is just in “a period of transition”.
Kamal and Camilla ask if the president’s strategy of short term pain for long term gain will pay off, and what impact it could have on the rest of the world.
And as the Metropolitan Police launch a formal investigation into Reform MP Rupert Lowe over allegations of threats against Zia Yusuf, can the party survive this storm? And we unpack the curious political bromance between Lowe and the tech billionaire Elon Musk...

Despite their meteoric rise, all is not well inside Reform UK.
Nigel Farage’s party has been engulfed in civil war over a string of bullying allegations against Rupert Lowe.
The Great Yarmouth MP vigorously denies all the accusations - including that he threatened physical violence against party chairman Zia Yusuf - and claims he is the victim of a witch hunt over his criticisms of Farage’s leadership.
Kamal and Camilla ask what airing the party’s dirty laundry in public will do for its hopes of forming the next Government - and whether Lowe’s ousting was motivated by personal grudges.
Plus, after the Government rules out holding a public inquiry into the 2021 murder of MP David Ames, his daughter Katie tells The Daily T: “ they want me to go away, but I'm not going to”.

A “sophisticated” UK-based spy ring passed secrets to Russia for nearly three years before they were prosecuted. It was revealed that the ring leader, a man named Orlin Roussev, had exchanged messages with a mysterious man code named ‘Rupert Ticz’.
The prosecutors revealed that the man was in fact Jan Marsalek, the fugitive ex-Wirecard chief operating officer, who is wanted in connection with a €1.9bn (£1.57bn) banking fraud.
For almost three years, he had gathered information on targets across Europe, planning kidnappings, murders and assaults alongside the spy ring.
In the third instalment of The Daily T Investigates: The Tech Boss Who Was Russia's Secret Spy, Hayley Dixon reveals the messages that were sent by Marsalek and uncover what he has been up to since he went on the run since June 2020.

Former tech boss turned fugitive Jan Marsalek was living a double life as a Russian spy, having met his handler during a meeting on a yacht in Nice back in 2014.
Throughout his time at the company, he is accused of running operations on behalf of the Kremlin, from assembling a Libyan militia and running surveillance on enemies of the state to an alleged audacious plot to hijack the Austrian spy service.
In the second instalment of The Daily T Investigates: The Tech Boss who was Russia's Secret Spy, Hayley Dixon examines Marsalek’s relationship with the country and tracks down his closest friend to find out more about the man behind the headlines.

A UK-based spy ring of Bulgarian nationals has been found guilty of espionage at the Old Bailey after a three-month trial. For almost three years, they’d been spying for Russia.
But the man believed to be behind it all is still on the run. Jan Marsalek was an Austrian tech boss, Chief Operating Officer of a successful payments processing company called Wirecard. Until it collapsed in 2020 amid a massive fraud scandal Marsalek is alleged to have been the mastermind behind.
Just days later, he fled Austria, taking a flight to Belarus. Despite international efforts to locate him, Marsalek's precise whereabouts remain uncertain. In a new three-part series for The Daily T, hosted by Special Correspondent Hayley Dixon, we reveal his double life as a spy for the Kremlin and what he’s been up to since he disappeared.

It's a toxic debate that has seen leading academics and feminists cancelled: how to treat children distressed about their gender.
Retired psychiatrist Dr David Bell spent 25 years at the now-closed Tavistock and faced intense backlash for raising concerns about the trust’s GIDS clinic prescribing puberty blockers to children.
The drugs have since been banned for under-18s and the Cass Review concluded that the Tavistock was implementing "changes in care without a well considered evidence base".
But now the NHS has announced plans to trial puberty blockers on children, something Dr Bell says would be unethical and risks causing major harm.
In an exclusive interview with the Daily T, Dr Bell talks about how the now-closed Tavistock was “invaded” by gender ideology; the fear amongst colleagues who wanted to speak out; and why he is “frightened” at NHS puberty blocker trial being approved.

Like or loathe his policies, you can’t deny Donald Trump has star power.
It was on full display in his address to Congress on Tuesday night, in which the US president told the audience “America is back” and declared his first month in office the most successful since George Washington.
Daily T favourite Tim Stanley stayed up late watching so you don’t have to and joins Camilla and Kamal to explain how Trump made a mockery of Democrats like Al Green and Elizabeth Warren in his 100-minute speech.
They also react to the president’s remarks about peace in Ukraine; his plans to “get” Greenland and the Panama Canal; and the now-scrapped DEI scheme in Lesotho, a country he says “nobody has ever heard of”.
Kamal is unconvinced by Trump’s policies, but may just have been won over by his showmanship…

He's been threatening to do it and now he has. Donald Trump has made the decision to pull all military aid from Ukraine.
Whether or not it’s just a negotiating tactic to force Volodymyr Zelensky to sign a minerals deal, for the time being at least Ukraine will have to fight the Russian invasion without US support, presumably to the delight of Vladimir Putin.
Talking Kamal and Camilla through just how critical that support is, and how long Ukraine can last with just European backing, is The Telegraph's Defence and Foreign Affairs Editor Con Coughlin.
Verity Bowman also reports from Dnipro, where she's been speaking to Ukrainian soldiers galvanised by the end to US military aid and promising to keep fighting.
