Tech Firms Ask for Trump Tariff Protection
Global business news, with live guests and contributions from Asia and the USA.
Four US companies have warned a new round of taxes on Chinese imports could lead to job losses. Ben Parr, co-founder of technology firm Octane AI, tells us why Dell, Cisco, Juniper Networks and Hewlett Packard are worried. Also in the programme, our reporter in Argentina takes the temperature of the country's economy. Nigeria is one of Africa's biggest economies - and yet a large number of Nigerians still don't have access to a bank account. One bank that's trying to change that is Lagos based Diamond Bank, as CEO Uzoma Dozie explains. Plus, with the first Starbucks in Italy opening on Friday, we get reaction from the streets of Milan.
All this and more discussed with our guest throughout the show: Sharon Brettkelly, Bureau Chief at Radio New Zealand in Auckland.
