Big Boss Interview

Available for over a year

The US president Donald Trump has given the World Economic Forum in Davos his view of the global economy. Roger Hearing discusses the vision set out for the US economy to the assembled leaders at the summit in Switzerland, and we hear what US trade tariffs could mean for the Republic of Ireland's new government. Elsewhere, is Japan's central bank about to raise interest rates? Will the new $7bn compensation deal to those devastated by the US opioid epidemic see those who caused it really pay the price? And how much should you be charged to climb the world's highest mountain? Global business news, with live guests and contributions from Asia and the USA.
