UK and US to start trade deal talks

World Business Report

Available for over a year

The UK is seeking a post Brexit trade deal with the United States. Diana Furchtgott-Roth, who worked on President Trump’s transition team shares her perspective. We also hear from Jean Blaylock of campaign group Global Justice Now who is concerned about the lack of information about the UK’s plans. Aviation consultant Peter Morris tells the BBC's Russell Padmore that airlines fear they are not a priority in the Brexit process. As the euro gains against the US dollar, economist Michael Hughes gives his analysis. And we get a preview of a musical about the life story of social campaigner and jazz singer Nina Simone, which is being brought to life on stage in London. (Photo: The White House in Washington DC.
