The US president spoke warmly about Theresa May after comments attacking her Brexit plans. We look at the likelihood of a promised trade deal between Britain and the United States with Emmanuel Adam of the organisation British American Business. And ahead of Donald Trump's visit to Scotland we hear about Scottish-US relations from Mike Churchill, CEO of Churchill Drilling Tools in Aberdeen, which exports a third of its goods to America. Also in the programme, former Pakistani prime minister Nawaz Sharif is returning to the country to face a jail sentence after being convicted in his absence for corruption. The Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ's Haroon Rashid explains the background. We have a report from Washington about the growing popularity of rented electric scooters, which have been popping up in major US cities. Plus we look back at the rest of the week's big business stories with Sujeet Indap of the FT Lex column, and Lianna Brinded of Quartz.
