US and Canada Agree New Trade Deal

Available for over a year

There is a new NAFTA. Or at least there will be. The North America Free Trade Agreement has been replaced by the USMCA. Christophe Bondy was a top Canadian trade negotiator on NAFTA. Does he think that Trump's tough tariff tactic brought the NAFTA talks to a successful conclusion? We speak to Jeffrey Sachs, UN adviser and Professor of Sustainable Development at Columbia University. For him, it's time to redraw US Foreign Policy completely, focussing global cooperation, international law and aspirations for worldwide prosperity. Following Friday's earthquake and resulting tsunami in Indonesia, we ask Indonesia's finance minister Sri Mulyani Indrawati whether more could have been done to mitigate the impact of the disaster. We have a report examining how fizzy drinks companies are responding to changing consumer tastes around health issues and plastic packaging. Plus our regular workplace commentator Rumella Dasgupta considers the challenges companies face when operating across multiple time zones. (Picture: A US-Canada car depot.
