Foreign Minister Winston Peters has been in Hawaii this week, where he gave a speech discussing the United States tariffs on the rest of the world. 

But in that speech he criticised use of the term "trade war" - despite Prime Minister Christopher Luxon using the term himself. 

It also comes after Luxon had a number of conversations with world leaders. Peters said the pair hadn’t discussed Luxon’s speech or his calls with world leaders ahead of time: “So I hope that he’ll get my message and he’ll call me next time”.

Is there a row brewing between the pair?
