President Trump says tariffs on China “will not be anywhere near 145%” but won’t be removed all together. It follows US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent saying he expected a ‘de escalation’ in US China tariffs. The International Monetary Fund has revised its global growth forecast in the wake of Trump’s tariffs, with the US expected to be hit hardest. And the boardgames industry is suffering the consequences of tariffs. A number of companies have launched a legal case against the Trump administration. Among them is Stonemaier Games, we speak to their President.

  • And welcome to Business Matters.

  • I'm Roger Hearing.

  • On the programme today,

  • a bit more optimism from the US Treasury Secretary on trade relations with China,

  • and Donald Trump echoing that.

  • But the IMF warns of less growth as a result of trade tensions,

  • so are the tariffs an economic mistake for the US?

  • And...

  • We started a major reprint of a number of games that we make.

  • We can ship those games to other countries.

  • But if we were to ship them to the US,

  • we would be paying the US government $14.50 for every $10 that we spent to make those games.

  • We hear from board game makers who've been badly hit by the trade tariffs.

  • And I'll be joined throughout the program by two guests on opposite sides of the world.

  • Ruth Umo, who's executive director, executive editor, I should say,

  • at Fortune, who's joining us on the line from New York.

  • Ruth, a very good evening to you.

  • And a good evening to you.

  • Thank you so much for having me.

  • Good to have you there.
