Trump's Tariffs on China

World Business Report

Available for over a year

With President Trump under fresh fire at home, we hear from one American business owner who is applauding his new taxes on imports from China. The UK government has begun to issue advice to businesses and households on how they should prepare for a no-deal scenario, in case Britain cannot negotiate favourable terms as it prepares to leave the European Union. Finally, Volkswagen's factory in Mexico has rolled back on using weather-altering tech - it was intended to stop hail stones from forming and damaging their cars, but nearby farmers say it's causing a drought.
