Upcoming clips about America in union (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

spousal

'in union' is the definition.
(relating to a marriage or union)

'upcoming clips about america' is the wordplay.
'upcoming' says the letters should be written in reverse.
'clips' becomes 'lops' ('lop' can be a synonym of 'clip').
'about' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'america' becomes 'usa' (synonyms).
'lops' reversed gives 'spol'.
'spol' placed around 'usa' is 'SPOUSAL'.

(Another definition for spousal that I've seen is " Relating to a marriage partner".)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
