US Federal Reserve cuts interest rates

World Business Report

Available for over a year

The US central bank - the Federal Reserve - has lowered interest rates for the first time since President Trump began his second term. But what does this actually mean for companies? We speak to two business owners to find out their thoughts. Pomp and pageantry as King Charles welcomes the US president to the UK. We’ll be hearing what kind of reception Donald Trump has received. And the state visit also coincides with a major tech deal between the two allies. But can state visits really help economic ties? A former British deputy ambassador to the US gives us his insight.
