Trump Promotes Benefits of More Taxes on China

World Business Report

Available for over a year

President Trump has been talking up the benefits of fresh tariffs as investors worry about the potential impact of the US imposing new taxes on Chinese imports. Kweku Adoboli, the former UBS trader convicted of fraud, is making a last-ditch bid to block his deportation to Ghana, where he was born. He was found guilty in 2015 of fraud that lost the Swiss bank $2.3bn. The lucrative fashion industry is in the spotlight - we catch up with handbag designer Claudio Furst at London Fashion Week. Four power stations supplying electricity to millions of South Africans are at risk of running out of coal. We speak to the national power firm Eskom to hear more about dire shortages. And finally, our regular commentator Stephanie Hare tells us about side hustles - the extra job people take on in addition to their day jobs. (Image: Chinese yuan note surrounded by US dollar notes.
