• 00:06

  Coming up,

• 00:07

  we'll be hearing from the farming sector in the United States

• 00:09

  in just a moment to gauge what impact Monday's tariffs imposed

• 00:13

  by China on products ranging from pork

• 00:15

  and corn to soybeans and beef might have.

• 00:17

  And we'll also be hearing, too,

• 00:19

  what the escalating trade war between the world's two largest economies could mean

• 00:23

  for prices for Chinese consumers as a result.

• 00:25

  Also today we'll hear about Canada's new leader

• 00:28

  and find out whether his background as a central bank governor both at home and abroad,

• 00:32

  might help him as he gets set to deal with, well, his frontier in that particular trade conflict.

• 00:37

  now the Democratic Republic of Congo looks set to try

• 00:42

  and use its mineral wealth to attract US Financial and perhaps military support.
