Hello and welcome to World Business Report from the BBC World Service.
I'm Rahul Tandon.
On this edition, how easy is it to be patriotic and only buy goods made in your country?
Quite difficult, it seems.
And I said, well, if I'm going to be working with manufacturers,
the least I can do is support them by buying things made in USA.
So I said, I'm going to buy everything made in the US.
And I had to quickly backtrack on that one.
and why playing the car radio is set to become much more expensive in Zimbabwe.
But let's start the programme by talking about steel and a possible merger that looks
like it is about to go ahead.
We're talking about Japan's largest steelmaker, Nippon Steel,
and its $15 billion plans to take over US steel.
They were, of course, put on hold by President Biden,
but President Trump in the last few days has now given the plans a green light.
It'll be controlled by the United States.
Otherwise, I wouldn't make the deal.
I went to the unions, to all of the local unions.
They all wanted it.
And I'm doing it because all of the congressmen came in, about five of them.
