Trump's new tariff targets: South Korea, Brazil and India
Big Boss InterviewAvailable for over a year
Ed Butler unpacks the latest developments in global trade tensions, as President Trump singles out South Korea, Brazil and India. In Brazil, why are some key exporters getting a free pass? We also hear from small business owners navigating the complexities of the US-India tea trade. Plus, amid signs of dissent within the Federal Reserve, interest rates remain unchanged—for now. Throughout the program, Ed Butler will be joined by two guests on opposite sides of the world - Rintaro Nishimura is a Tokyo-based Associate in The Asia Group’s Japan practice and Fermin Koop, a freelance journalist, specializing in environmental issues, based in Buenos Aires in Argentina.
