A potential trade war is making New Zealand's farmers nervous. President Donald Trump's plans to impose punitive tariffs on steel and aluminium imports has prompted China and the European Union to warn of damage to the global economy. The tariffs haven't been imposed yet, but Mr Trump seems keen to go ahead with the plan - he says trade wars are good and easy to win. Mike Petersen is New Zealand's Special Agricultural Trade Envoy.
