Guardian Australia's 'Decoding America' podcast examines why US datacentres have sparked public backlash and whether this could damage Republicans in the midterms, given Trump's strong support for the rapidly expanding industry. The episode also explores escalating US-Canada trade tensions over tariffs and investigates the unusual YouTube channel run by Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy.

In this episode of Guardian Australia’s US politics podcast Decoding America, co-hosts Jonathan Yerushalmy and Reged Ahmad explore why datacentres in the US have provoked such anger – and whether that could harm Republicans in the midterms given Donald Trump is such a supporter of the growing industry.

They also look at why the US and Canada are fighting over tariffs. The Canadian prime minister, Mark Carney, is pushing back and both countries could be on the cusp of a full-blown trade war.

Finally: why does the Trump administration’s secretary of transportation Sean Duffy have his very own YouTube show – and is he the only one?
