US-China trade war: The beginning of the end?

World Business Report

Available for over a year

The US and China governments have announced their set to hold trade talks in London on Monday, so has a phone call between the presidents of the World's two largest economies begun the end of their ongoing tariff battle? Elsewhere, we discuss whether the fallout between Donald Trump and Elon Musk will have any dramatic changes to US government's policy, while Andrew Peach speaks to diamond analyst Paul Zimnisky about why the main diamond company in Botswana says it's temporarily halting production. And our correspondent Stephen McDonell reports from China on how the era of the driverless truck may finally have arrived. The latest business and finance news from around the world, on the BBC.
