BBC World Service - Business Matters, Trump Threatens More Tariffs on China

The US is escalating a trade row with Beijing over US tariffs on Chinese goods.

The US is escalating a trade row with Beijing by threatening more tariffs on Chinese goods. A paper published by Canadian think tank the CD Howe Institute suggests that Donald Trump is using that uncertainty as a weapon, we hear from the co-author of the report Dan Ciuriak. Also in the programme, we get a sense of how businesses in the UK are adapting to the prospect of Britain's exit from the European Union. Plus, why are hotels increasingly using digital assistants? US Marriott announced it'll be installing Amazon's Alexa to aid room service and housekeeping, technology expert Tom Cheesewright explains more. Also in the programme we find out why visitors travelling to Japan may have to find alternative accommodation if they've booked an accommodation with Airbnb. We hear views from Lucy Alexander, a journalist based in Tokyo and Bridget Bodnar, who's a producer with Marketplace radio in Los Angeles.
