Against this background, he then outlined his approach to US global tariffs and foreign-made vehicles.
The measures also include a broad baseline tariff of 10% on all imported goods, with much higher rates for what he called the most serious offenders. Let's get reaction to the news from the White House from around the world. I first spoke to Peter Bowes, our Washington correspondent. So it seems that these tariffs, according to Donald Trump anyway, are all about righting previous wrongs.
There will clearly be domestic implications of all this. He said factories will come roaring back. But in the short term, prices of many goods that ordinary Americans buy are likely to go up. But basically, this is a high risk strategy, isn't it?
Peter Bowes in Washington. Well, the European Union faces 20% tariffs. Katja Adler is our Europe editor. I asked her how the EU will react.
And there are a few unifying moments like this in the EU's history. To what extent does it really consolidate the EU as a bloc?
Katya Adler in Brussels. Imports from China will face a 34% tax. What's been the reaction there? The BBC's China correspondent Stephen McDonnell is in Beijing.
Stephen McDonnell in China. Well, governments, as we've been hearing around the world, have been absorbing the contents of Mr Trump's speech and calculating the likely impact on their economies. Before the announcement, some leaders spoke of retaliating against any US-imposed tariffs, while others advocated a more pragmatic approach and warned against stoking a trade war.
Australia, which, like the UK, is facing 10% tariffs. said the US decision was totally unwarranted and would change the perception of the relationship between the two countries. The Australian Prime Minister, Antony Albanese, announced special measures to protect the country's economy.
the Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese. Well, as we record this podcast, the financial markets have begun to assess the possible impacts of these US tariffs on the White House lawn. President Trump showed a chart illustrating various countries around the world and associated tariffs. Sumi Somaskanda spoke to the BBC's economics editor, Faisal Islam, who's in London.
He first spoke of the financial reaction there and then the global effect.
The BBC's economics editor, Faisal Islam. Now, two other news. Myanmar's military government has announced a ceasefire for three weeks to concentrate on recovering from last week's devastating earthquake. The move appears to be a U-turn.
The head of the military authorities, Min Aung Hlaing, indicated only on Tuesday that he'd continue ordering attacks on rebels, some of whom had already announced their own ceasefires. The announcement was made on state television.
Despite Myanmar's government saying it will not let foreign journalists into the country to report on the aftermath of the quake, The BBC's Yogita Limai and her team managed to travel to the city of Mandalay, where hundreds of buildings have collapsed.
That report by the BBC's Yogiti Limai from the city of Mandalay in Myanmar.
The public exhibition about the work of Britain's security service, MI5, opens shortly in London. More secrets revealed later.
Now to Gaza, and a medic in the territory who survived an Israeli attack on a Red Crescent convoy in which 15 emergency workers were killed has challenged the Israeli military's justification for opening fire. He told BBC News that the ambulances were clearly marked when they were attacked near Rafah just over a week ago.
Israeli soldiers had said that the lights were off and claimed that the vehicles were acting suspiciously. Our correspondent Dan Johnson reports from Jerusalem.
That report by Dan Johnson in Jerusalem. In a separate development, Syrian state media say Israel has carried out airstrikes on the country's scientific research building in Damascus and Hama Airport, 200 kilometres to the north of the capital. Israel, which rarely comments on such raids, has mounted numerous strikes on Syria over recent years.
It first bombed the research centre shortly after the toppling of President Bashar al-Assad in December, claiming it was used to develop guided missiles and chemical weapons. German police say they've shut down one of the world's biggest platforms distributing images of child sex abuse. KidFlix carried over 90,000 still images and thousands of hours of video footage.
A spokesman described the operation as possibly the biggest blow ever against this kind of child sexual abuse. Anna Holligan reports from the European Police Agency's headquarters in The Hague. A warning, this report is distressing.
