Donald Trump has finally unveiled his sweeping tariff plan - and many countries have been caught up in it.

Newstalk ZB senior political correspondent Barry Soper says Trump's focused on protecting the US from "unrelenting economic warfare" - but it's unclear what that could do to global relations.
