Will Trump Implement Further Sanctions Against Russia?

World Business Report

Available for over a year

A deadline is looming for President Trump to implement a new package of sanctions against Russia over its involvement in the 2016 US elections. It's an issue on which President Trump has - so far- been dragging his feet. What is likely to happen on Monday? Ingvar Kamprad, who founded IKEA furniture brand, died aged 91 at his home in Sweden. We look at how IKEA revolutionised the way furniture was made and sold. In the past week, Vermont became the ninth US state to legalise recreational marijuana use. But while in America state law may say that's all ok - federal law has long prohibited the use and sale of cannabis. So how are businesses coping in this legal limbo?
