US President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping are expected to hold a phone call to discuss tariffs and trade issues, according to the White House. There's been no confirmation from Beijing. Rahul Tandon hears from Nazak Nikakhtar, a former assistant secretary of state for industry and analysis in the first administration of Donald Trump. In Canada, the Prime Minister is meeting with regional leaders to remove interprovincial trade barriers and making it easier for Canadians to trade with each other. And the South American nation of Paraguay has big ambitions to become a tech and innovation hub.
