Have US tariffs backfired?

Big Boss Interview

Available for over a year

American businesses have been hit - from American tariffs imposed on other countries. Farmers in the US tell us more. As a big cobalt mine is closed, we look at the potential impact on the electric car battery market. And vodka from a radioactive zone - we hear about the first officially sanctioned consumable product from the exclusion zone of Chernobyl. We discuss all this with guests Diane Brady, author and media advisor in New York, and Simon Littlewood, President at the Asia Now Consulting Group in Singapore. (Image: US flag.
