President Trump has been criticised for his combative response to the Washington air crash. With the investigation into the fatal collision between a passenger aeroplane and a military helicopter just beginning, the president suggested that diversity, equity and inclusion hiring policies could be to blame, drawing condemnation from critics who accused him of prematurely politicising the disaster.
Caitríona Perry, Courtney Subramanian and Bernd Debusmann discuss the fallout from that controversy, and examine how the new administration is already making good on campaign promises to crack down on undocumented migrants, and use tariffs as a bargaining chip in negotiations with key US allies.
