SKY NEWS
About this episode
Trump 100 is Sky News' latest podcast covering President Donald Trump's first 100 days in office.

Daily host Niall Paterson drops in on day six, where US correspondents Martha Kelner, Mark Stone and James Matthews look beyond the Washington bubble to take stock of the first working week of the Trump presidency.

The team focus on how the president has already been impacting the lives of ordinary Americans and those outside its borders. This week, Martha has been to Texas and Mexico to speak to those affected by Trump's declaration of a state of emergency over immigration.  

They also discuss Trump's policy decisions so far – from the controversial to the pragmatic. And the dramatic political theatre with which he signed his first executive orders.
