  Hello and welcome to World Business Report on the BBC World Service.

• 00:03

  I'm Will Bain.

  Great as always to have your company on the programme.

• 00:07

  Today then, a 90-day trade truce.

• 00:09

  But the key question now,

• 00:10

  is this the beginning of the end for the trade tariff uncertainty or just that, just a pause?

• 00:17

  Over the next half hour here on World Business Report, we're going to try and explore just that,

• 00:21

  including a sigh of relief for some exporters, for now at least.

• 00:26

  Looking further ahead, though, this is only a 90-day reprieve,

• 00:30

  and I have no idea how things will shake out in 90 days.

• 00:35

  Yeah, we'll have plenty more reaction from China and from the United States as well.

• 00:39

  And we'll look at how it's impacting company shares and stock markets all around the world,

• 00:43

  because that too is a big part of the story, as we were hearing in the news headlines there.

• 00:47

  Bill Blaine of Shah Capital in London standing by to walk us through all of that and tell us what we need to know.

• 00:54

  But let's get straight to the US,

• 00:56

  because in the past few minutes, President Trump has been speaking.

• 00:59

  The talks in Geneva were very friendly.

• 01:01

  The relationship is very good.

• 01:03

  We're not looking to hurt China.

• 01:05

  China was being hurt very badly.
