World Business Report

Available for over a year

US President-elect Donald Trump has picked Elon Musk for a role in government cost-cutting, as part of his drive to "dismantle" bureaucracy. We speak to Trevor Traina, former United States Ambassador to Austria during Donald Trump's first presidency. Also, China is showing off its latest generation of stealth fighter jets and other military hardware at its Zhuhai Airshow. Why Germany is in the midst of a lot of political and economic trouble? And the New York City council passed a bill that will prevent tenants from having to pay fees to brokers hired by landlords. You can contact us on WhatsApp or send us a voicenote: +44 330 678 3033.
