World Business Report

Available for over a year

President Trump makes a u-turn on tariffs after reaching a framework for a future deal over Greenland. Leanna Byrne asks - what do we know about this deal? We also follow the US Supreme Court hearing involving Federal Reserve governor Lisa Cook, who denies allegations of misrepresenting her home ownership status. And the EU-Mercosur trade deal faces a legal challenge. (Photo: US President Donald Trump speaking at the annual meeting in Davos, Switzerland, January 21, 2026.
