Who needs soft power? Trump threatens neighbours with tariffs • FRANCE 24 English

Forget soft power. It's all about hard bargains. Donald Trump is making good on his campaign promise of tariffs and is starting with his closest neighbours. We ask if it's all a big made-for-reality-TV drama that ends at the negotiating table. He has already hit pause on tariffs for Mexico. How much has the world's most powerful nation decided to throw its weight around? We gauge reactions.
Editor's note: Since this programme aired, the US has also agreed to pause tariffs on Canadian imports.
