World Business Report

Available for over a year

The two countries agree to end the dispute, which has lasted 18 months. We get analysis from Professor Ann Lee from New York University, and hear from the US agriculture sector how it has been affected by the trade war. Automotive group PSA, which includes Peugeot, Citroen and Opel, meets on Tuesday when it's expected to finalise a merger with the US firm Fiat Chrysler, or FCA. The deal would make the company the fourth largest car maker in the world. We speak to automotive analyst Rebecca Lindland, founder of Rebecca Drives. After seven years of growth, Portugal's economy is starting to slow down. Wages have fallen and many workers are on temporary contracts. Nuno Fernandes is from the Banco de Portugal and tells us about the health of the economy. (Picture: Chinese and US flags. Brendan Smialowski/AFP via Getty Images)
