Summary
Today, we look at whether President Donald Trump will be allowed to continue with his tariffs plan.
On Wednesday a court put them on hold, saying they’re beyond his power, then another court reinstated them pending an appeal.
Adam is joined by chief presenter in the US, CaitrĂona Perry, Americast’s Justin Webb, and FT columnist Gillian Tett.
And we find out the identity of the man who has been charged with multiple offences after a car hit fans attending Liverpool's Premier League victory celebration.

| 0:08.6 | So when we recorded most of today's episode on Thursday afternoon about half past four, |
| 0:14.4 | we were focusing on the news from America where a court had ruled that Donald Trump's import tariffs, which he announced on the 2nd of April, so-called Liberation Day, were actually unlawful because he didn't have the authority as president to actually levy them. |
