Donald Trump's tariffs policy will trigger a price shock" and possible shortages, and lead to public pressure on him to change his approach, the former vice-president Mike Pence has said.

In one of his most wide-ranging critiques yet on the policies of the president he used to serve, Pence, speaking to CNN, derided the White House's wavering" support for Ukraine and declared - in direct contradiction of repeated assurances from Trump - that President Vladimir Putin of Russia doesn't want peace".
