Another Senate confirmation hearing for one of Donald Trump’s top team, this time its Jamieson Greer, the nominee for US Trade Representative. So all the talk was of tariffs. China has filed a World Trade Organisation (WTO) complaint against the US president's 10% tariffs on Chinese goods after a trade war between two global powers began this week. What does Pascal Lamy, former director general of WTO, have to say? We hear from Gene Seroka, the executive director of the Port of Los Angeles, the busiest container port in North America. And egg prices are soaring in the States. But why? That’s what we asked a poultry farmer from South Carolina. Global business news, with live guests and contributions from Asia and the USA.
