Bombardier Faces US Tariff Hike

World Business Report

Available for over a year

The Canadian plane-maker Bombardier faces a 220% US import duty. We find out more from aviation analyst Chris Tarry. Also in the programme, the French finance minister Bruno Le Maire has unveiled his country's budget. Tomasz Michalski is economics professor at the HEC Paris business school, and tells us if the plan will bring down France's budget deficit. The leader of Britain's main opposition Labour party, Jeremy Corbyn, has set out his vision for government. We hear more from the party conference in Brighton. Twitter is trialling doubling the length of tweets allowed for some users. Writer and broadcaster Dom Knight tells us why he's opposed to the move. Plus we have a report from Swedish Lapland on the business opportunities presented by bears. (Picture: A Bombardier plane. Picture credit: Reuters.)
