The number of jobs created in the United States has been revised down. Not as many people got jobs as expected during the last months of Joe Biden's presidency or the opening period of Donald Trump's return to the White House. It suggests the world's largest economy is weaker than expected, but could it also mean Donald Trump will get his way and the Federal Reserve cuts interest rates? We're joined by the CBC's Takara Small in Toronto, Canada, and Stratagraph's Travis Paterson in Jakarta, Indonesia, to discuss how businesses have been impacted by the increasing use of tariffs by both the US and other governments. Roger Hearing finds out about the impact on the Korean community in the US state of Georgia after the detained Hyundai workers are set to be flown home. Elsewhere, there's a new French prime minister, the fifth in two years, to try to pass a budget. It was promised to be awe-dropping - but what has Apple unveiled at its latest event? And how a high murder rate is threatening tourism on a Caribbean island paradise. Global business news, with live guests and contributions from Asia and the USA.
