Where the world and America meet. Every weekday, this is The Global Story.
The world is changing. Decisions made in the US and by the second Trump administration are accelerating that change. But they are also a symptom of it.
With Asma Khalid in DC, Tristan Redman in London, and the backing of the BBC’s international newsroom, The Global Story brings clarity to politics, business and foreign policy in a time of connection and disruption.
