Watch: Trump misspeaks and calls toy firm Mattel a country
Donald Trump has accidentally called toy firm Mattel a country while threatening further tariffs.
The US president misspoke when saying tariffs are "misunderstood" in business. He cited Mattel, which is famous for making Barbie dolls, as an example of a country thinking about counter-tariffs.
His comments came as the UK and US agreed a tariff deal on some goods traded between the two countries.
