    Beijing has vowed to “fight to the end” if Donald Trump follows through on his threat to increase tariffs, so is a full-blown trade war between the two superpowers inevitable? Journalist Tessa Szyszkowitz and Monocle’s Christopher Lord discuss this and whether or not Europe is ready to accept the brain drain from the US. Plus: is Emmanuel Macron positioning himself to become the de facto leader of Europe and are we really seeing species brought back from extinction?
