26 分钟Hi there, I'm Ed Butler.
Welcome to World Business Report from the BBC World Service.
Today we are looking at growing signs of stress within the global economy.
This ahead of crunch trade talks between the US and its major trading partners,
some Malaysian businesses, it seems, are feeling the heat.
I'm confident for my industry, but what I'm not confident is Trump, what he's going to do.
That I'm not confident.
Everybody is not confident what he's going to do when he wakes up in the morning.
He will change his mind.
That's the uncertainty.
We don't know what's going on.
Also in the show, the head of the world's largest electric car maker, BYD,
speaks to the BBC and why Chinese officials are being asked to tone down their excessive partying habits.
All of that to come later in the show.
Now,
the meeting of the group of seven ministers meeting ends today in Canada in what has been a few stressful days,
it seems, for world leaders.
There's been signs of disagreement between the United States and other G7 nations over the wording of a statement on the Israel-Iran conflict.
And the longer term stresses over President Trump's proposed tariff regime also persist.
This is what the president had to say, for example.
