Trump vs the World: how is the President being handled around the globe?

Trump 2.0 has been characterised by unpredictability. In recent days, we’ve seen a tariff war with Canada and Mexico, a shouting match in the Oval Office and the reignited call to welcome Greenland in to United States territory. 

So how is this unpredictability being handled by international leaders, and how do the common public feel about him abroad? Rohan Venkat, Emily Tamkin and Tom Hamilton discuss.
