Summary

President Trump is poised to declare sweeping new global tariffs, and across the world, leaders are bracing for impact, making it very clear that they will not take this lying down.

Democratic Senator Chris Murphy was in the chamber for Cory Booker's entire speech and asked the final question, and he joins Christiane from DC.
