World Business Report

Available for over a year

Four US companies warn a new round of taxes on Chinese imports could lead to job losses. Ben Parr is co-founder of technology firm Octane AI, and tells us why Dell, Cisco, Juniper Networks and Hewlett Packard are worried about the next round of possible tariffs. Also in the programme, our reporter in Argentina takes the temperature of the country's economy. Lindsey Stanberry of the US series Money Diaries, which anonymously chronicles spending habits, tells us about some of the most noteworthy millennial spenders. Plus we look back at the rest of the week's big business stories with Jon Fasman, Washington correspondent for The Economist, and Eshe Nelson, economics and markets reporter for Quartz.
