Will they be trading maple syrup and pancakes, or insults? A trade lawyer explains.

Will they be trading maple syrup and pancakes, or insults? A Canadian trade lawyer explains. And is the "gig economy" here to stay? How to regulate gigs.

Today Canada's Justin Trudeau is the latest world leader to talk trade with President Donald Trump. As the Prime Minister steps through the White House doors though, will they be trading maple syrup, apple pie, or barbed insults? We hear from Christophe Bondy, an international trade lawyer, based in London, and formerly the Senior Counsel at Canada's Trade Law Bureau. How would Justin Trudeau stand up to an unwelcoming President? Also we visit Sao Paolo, to hear about the growth of the so-called gig economy in Brazil, following the latest economic recession. Is this a good or a bad thing for the economy in Brazil, and is it good for workers? Natalie Razeen is an associate at the  London law firm, Russell Cooke. Finally Lucy Kellaway of the Financial Times joins us to consider how people like her get by, when they're considered "difficult".
