US-Japan steel deal?

World Business Report

Available for over a year

Japanese-owned steelmaker Nippon Steel is expected to close its “partnership” with U.S. Steel at $55 per share, as the US media have reported. On Friday, last week, President Donald Trump said that he has cleared the deal. Zimbabwe's president, Emmerson Mnangagwa, has signed into law a contentious bill that requires all drivers to buy a car radio licence before a vehicle can legally be on the road. And Rahul Tandon hears how one woman’s quest to buy only US made goods has been surprisingly difficult.
