Summary

Canadians booing the American national anthem at sports matches, shops removing American made products from their shelves...how many enemies is Donald Trump prepared to make with his trade tariffs? The Mexican president and Trump have already agreed to postpone the tariffs by one month following a "good conversation". Is anyone really prepared to fight the bully tactics?

Later, Education Secretary Bridget Phillipson tells us why she thinks Michael Gove is being hyperbolic about her changes to education. Will the Ofsted reforms really help parents? And why is she rolling back changes that the Tories say worked?

0:00.0	The Newsagents podcast is brought to you by HSBC UK, opening up a world of opportunity.
0:08.1	This is a global player original podcast. That was the sound last night, when Toronto Raptors played the L.A. Clippers in Toronto.
0:28.1	It is the sound of Canadians booing the American national anthem because they are furious.
0:35.9	They are absolutely mad at the tariffs that Donald Trump has imposed on Canada
