World leaders have started to pick up the pieces after a trade war started by the US, and a shock showdown in the Oval Office between Zelensky and Trump.
Some US tariffs on Canada and Mexico have now been delayed by a month, but were slammed by Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau as "a very dumb thing to do" when first announced.
China, which was also slapped with US tariffs, has warned that if it was a war the US wanted, whether a trade or any other type of war, it was ready to fight till the end.
Back home in Aotearoa, our agricultural exports may also be hit with tariffs, sparking government officials to reach out to their US counterparts.
Meanwhile, European leaders have put on a show of solidarity for Ukraine, which will have talks with the US in Saudi Arabia next week.
For analysis - including where New Zealand fits in the global picture - is Nicholas Khoo, an Associate Professor of the Politics Programme at Otago University.
