  • Hello and welcome to the World Business Report.

  • I'm Bissi Adebayo.

  • Is President Trump starting to get what he wants as more countries do deals and tariffs?

  • Brazil faces 50% levies on its exports to the US.

  • How will this go down with America's coffee-loving consumer?

  • And meanwhile, South Korea is among the countries settling for a late deal before Friday's deadline.

  • And in a dizzy day of wheeling and dealing,

  • we're trying to make sense of the great tariffs merry-go-round.

  • All that and more in half an hour.

  • Now let's begin with Brazil, which is now facing 50% tariffs and South Korea settling for 50%.

  • 15% and other big nations such as Canada still to declare.

  • It's all going to the wire with just a few hours to the latest tariffs deadline set by President Donald Trump.

  • And all of that, of course,

  • is happening right in the middle of earnings season as companies reveal how they are coping with the uncertainty.

  • So today on the World Business Report, we're going to break down who's a great what.

  • Who's not agreed to anything and who wins, if anyone at all,

  • from all of this change on the international trade funds?

  • Well, let's begin the conversation now.

  • And I'm bringing in Emma Wall, who will be with me throughout the program.

  • She is head of platform investments at Hargreaves Lansdowne.
