The United States President, Donald Trump, has agreed to drop his threat to impose 50% tariffs on European Union imports and extend a deadline to negotiate tariffs with the EU by more than a month. In Argentina, the government has announced that its easing currency reporting rules to deal with dollars kept under mattresses. The Argentine government aims to unleash some $271 billion stashed away in mattresses, safes and foreign bank accounts. And Rahul Tandon will look at how Disney's live-action Lilo and Stitch remake beat Tom Cruise at the US box office. Lilo and Stitch, which revisits the 2002 animated family favourite, exceeded expectations with takings of $341m (£252m) around the world. Throughout the programme, we will be joined by two guests on opposite sides of the world: Sushma Ramachandran, an independent journalist and columnist with the Tribune newspaper in India, and Fermin Koop, a reporter on environmental and climate change in Argentina.

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

  • Coming up in the programme, we'll be looking at attempts by...

  • Argentina's government to get people to give the dollars back that are under their mattresses.

  • We'll be explaining to you what critical minerals are and why they're so important and who has control of them at the moment and why kids' films like Lilo and Stitch are doing so well at the box office this year.

  • To guide us through the programme, we have Sushma Ramachandran,

  • independent journalist, columnist with the Tribune newspaper in Delhi.

  • Good morning to you in Delhi, Sushma.

  • How are you?

  • I'm fine.

  • Thank you, Rahul.

  • How are you?

  • Not too bad.

  • Not too bad at all.

  • Now, it's only a few weeks ago, isn't it,

  • when we were looking at those tensioning relations between India and Pakistan.

  • Just give us a sense now.

  • Things have calmed down.

  • But when you're writing your columns,

  • when you're looking at the papers, are those stories still center stage?

  • Yes, of course.
