World Business Report

Available for over a year

The US and Ukraine have signed a deal that will give Washington access to some of the war-torn country's natural resources.

And we're hearing stories from Colombia, where support for small businesses could help to keep the peace. You can contact us on WhatsApp or send us a voicenote: +44 330 678 3033.
