Paradise Papers: Wilbur Ross Denies Impropriety After Russia Links

BBC World Service - Newshour, Paradise Papers: Wilbur Ross Denies Impropriety After Russia Links

The US Commerce Secretary denies misleading Congress following document leak

Wilbur Ross was accused of misleading senators after leaked documents showed his interests in a firm in which some shareholders have ties to the Kremlin. They come as part of a huge leak of financial documents, dubbed the Paradise Papers, revealing how the powerful and wealthy secretly invest vast amounts of money in offshore tax havens.

Also in the programme: In Yemen the Saudi-led military coalition says it has closed the Yemeni land and sea borders, and President Donald Trump and the Japanese prime minister Shinzo Abe have stressed their common stance in confronting the North Korean nuclear threat.
