Trump Pulls US Out of TPP Trade Deal

World Business Report

Available for over a year

President Trump has signed an order to withdraw from the Trans-Pacific Partnership. Chad Brown of the Institute for International Economics in Washington assesses Mr Trump's approach to international trade. Plus the BBC's Gianna Palmer speaks to female supporters of President Trump, as well as protesters, about what his presidency means for their financial future. Also in the programme, the UK's prime minister Theresa May has laid out an industrial strategy for post-Brexit Britain. We get reaction from Damian Waters, head of the northwest branch of the Confederation of British Industry. The Gambia's new president Adama Barrow is expected to return to the country later today. Bunama Njie of the Senegambia Beach Hotel tells us what impact last week's political crisis in The Gambia had on the tourism industry. And we find out from Paul Aandahl of the Norwegian Seafood Council and Dawn Purchase of the Marine Conservation Society why soaring demand for sushi and the spread of sea lice is pushing up the price of salmon.
