Europe's Reaction to Trump's Sweeping Tariffs

With Donald Trump's sweeping tariffs going into effect on Saturday, world leaders are grappling with how to respond to the chaos hitting markets across the globe. German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock joined Christiane from NATO headquarters in Brussels to discuss how Europe plans to retaliate. Then, as Hungary withdraws from the International Criminal Court this week and Viktor Orban welcomes Benjamin Netanyahu, who's under an ICC arrest warrant for alleged war crimes in Gaza, Christiane asks former U.S. ambassador David Pressman, who served there until this year, whether Trump's America is following Hungary's autocratic playbook. Also, after far-right politician Marine Le Pen was found guilty of embezzlement, Melissa Bell reports from Paris on what it means for France and the future of the National Rally party in the 2027 elections. Christiane also speaks with two aid workers who've seen the horrors in Gaza up close; American physician Tanya Haj-Hassan just left Gaza after spending almost 6 weeks there, and Arwa Damon, a former CNN journalist turned charity founder is desperately trying to get back in. From Christiane's archives, the search for Pope John Paul II's successor, twenty years after his death. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
