US warns against cruise ship travel as industry reels

Big Boss Interview

Available for over a year

The US State Department has told US citizens not to travel on cruise ships. We will look at how the industry has been left reeling from these latest government instructions. Italy meanwhile remains on lockdown as the country attempts to stop the spread of coronavirus gripping it currently. Wells Fargo, the bank that went bad, promises to Congress that it has turned the corner. We look at whether we - or Congress - can take its new chief executive at his word. We ask who will help out companies when coronavirus hits supply chains harder, from Kerstin Braun, President of Stenn Group, an international provider of trade finance. We talk about all this live with guests Yumiko Murakami from the OECD (Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development) in Tokyo, and Tony Nash, CEO and Founder of Complete Intelligence, a contextual artificial intelligence platform in Houston, Texas.
