World Business ReportAvailable for over a year
TikTok has been given 90 days to sell its US arm to an American firm or face a ban in the country. Donald Trump has alleged it shares its user data with Beijing - claims it denies. Earlier on Thursday the firm's boss resigned ahead of the impending ban. The Federal Reserve has outlined a plan to revolutionise how it sets policy, including interest rates. The bank will now let inflation rise to allow the economy to produce more jobs. PHOTO: Getty Images
