Trump Travel Ban

Business Daily

Available for over a year

Today we're looking at the latest US travel ban, some of the dismay it's provoked among business leaders. Donald Trump has pronounced his executive order temporarily barring entry to nationals from seven mainly Muslim countries a great success. But opponents are aiming to strike back with protests and, in some cases, a Trump brand boycott. But how partial can and should businesses themselves become at a time of such deep political division? We hear from a British-Iraqi businessman, from anti-Trump protesters in the US and from Rebecca Gudgeon, head of corporate reputation and issues management at the UK public relations firm, Graylings. And Lucy Kellaway of the Financial Times is back, announcing the winners of her annual business jargon awards for 2016.
