President Trump is putting America's economy front and center, threatening sweeping tariffs on goods from America's three biggest trade partners. Trump has since reached a temporary agreement with Mexico to pause tariffs for one month in exchange for ten thousand Mexican troops being sent to the border. Meanwhile, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau spoke with Trump today and is expected to keep negotiating. Canada's former Foreign Minister John Baird joins the show from Toronto. 

Also on today's show: Adam Boehler, US Special Envoy for Hostage Affairs; Tom Malinowski, Former US House Democrat; Peter Beinart, Author, "Being Jewish After the Destruction of Gaza"
