Trump Threatens More Trade Agreement Withdrawals

An age-old trading agreement has been questioned by President Trump, as he attempts to radically re-shape America's trade relations

Another age-old trading agreement has been questioned by President Trump, as he attempts to radically re-shape America's trade relations. We look at the risks of America pulling out of the World Trade Organisation, and the case for open and free trade v protectionism. Coca-Cola has just bought Costa, the coffee chain, in a deal worth $5bn. What does it say about where Coca-Cola thinks the future of the beverage industry is? And we report from India, where production has stopped of the Tata Nano - marketed as the world's cheapest car. We also review the week's biggest business news with guests Lisa Abramowicz from Bloomberg in New York and Nina Trentmann, News Editor with the Wall Street Journal in London.
