  • Hello and welcome to Business Matters from the BBC World Service.

  • With you for the next hour, I'm Sam Fenwick.

  • So Donald Trump famously said his favourite word is tariff.

  • But you'd be forgiven for being sick of that word by now.

  • Tariffs haven't been out of the headlines for months.

  • And today it's China and the US trade relationship, which are the focus of attention.

  • And President Xi kind of like to do deals.

  • I mean, they're the big men.

  • They're the big enchilada.

  • They like to kind of do deals together.

  • I think there'll be one.

  • But there is some confusion over what is actually happening.

  • Deal or no deal?

  • Has there been a pause or not?

  • So what happens next?

  • We'll discuss that shortly.

  • Also today...

  • We'll be talking about how a simple plastic ring became a craze in the 1950s,

  • kickstarting a wave of toy marketing innovation.
