US-China Moves Spark Trade War Fears

Available for over a year

A trade war appears to be getting under way between the US and China. We hear about the potential impact of proposed Chinese tariffs on US pork products from Jim Munroe of the US National Pork Producers Council, and get wider context from Jake Parker, vice-president of China operations at the US-China Business Council. Also in the programme, we hear how tourism contributes more than 10% of global GDP from Rochelle Turner of the World Travel and Tourism Council. We talk to the companies hoping to bring about a renaissance for the hat industry. Plus we look back at the rest of the week's big business stories with Caroline Gage of Bloomberg in New York, and Madison Marriage of the Financial Times.
