Friday Focus: Zelensky clashes with Trump and Canada faces tariff threats – again
On this week’s Friday Focus, Janice and Rudyard react to the shocking Oval Office press conference between Volodymyr Zelensky and Donald Trump. Was Zelensky’s decision to respond in kind to Trump’s aggression a smart move? Zelensky showed great courage, but did he make gains for his country?
In the second half of the show Rudyard and Janice turn to Canada, which is facing another tariff threat from the US, a Liberal leadership race coming to a close, and a possible election call in the coming days. How has Donald Trump’s erratic and aggressive behaviour influenced polls in Canada and who voters see as the best candidate to manage this turbulent period?
