World Business Report

Available for over a year

US President Donald Trump has announced a new wave of tariffs, including a 100% levy on branded or patented drug imports, 25% tariffs on heavy-duty trucks, 50% on kitchen cabinets and bathroom vanities and 30% on upholstered furniture. Andrew Peach looks at how people in these sectors have reacted to these latest sweeping tariffs. And, can you still make money from a Broadway show? Only a few of the 18 commercial musicals that opened on Broadway last season made a profit.
