  • Hello and welcome to Business Matters here on the BBC World Service with me, Sam Fenwick.

  • Coming up...

  • In the next hour on the programme, President Donald Trump has dialed down the trade war,

  • striking a deal with China to reduce tariffs.

  • Now, it may lower the risk of recession this year,

  • but will it be enough to stave off a broader economic slowdown?

  • Fresh inflation data gives us a glimpse of how tariffs are already affecting the US economy.

  • Also today, what's gone wrong at Nissan, once seen as a leader in electric cars?

  • They've failed to pivot to new requirements by the customer and they're really suffering now.

  • And yes, it's really bad news for a lot of my old friends basically facing 20,000 redundancies.

  • It's really bad news.

  • They're slashing jobs and closing seven factories in a dramatic restructuring plan.

  • And...

  • Your flight will be delayed due to late arrival of the aircraft.

  • Thank you for your patience and understanding.

  • Oh, it's a horrible feeling that, isn't it, when you hear that sign.

  • We want to hear your travel nightmares.

  • What's the worst delay you faced and how did you survive it?

  • You can send us a message on WhatsApp.
