Trump Says Mexico Border Wall is 'Common Sense'

President Trump Visits the US/Mexico Border

BBC World Service - Business Matters, President Trump Visits the US/Mexico Border

Donald Trump arrives at the US/Mexico border in Texas to talk with officials.

Donald Trump has spent the day at the US/Mexico border in Texas to talk with officials. He reiterated his message that only by extending a wall along the border can the US remain protected from crime and illegal immigrants. We get reaction to his visit from Molly Hennessy-Fiske, a reporter for the LA Times based in Texas. Also in the programme, we hear why some big-name US and UK retailers are finding business tough after disappointing sales over the Christmas period. And we'll find out why Netflix was forced to change the Spanish subtitles on the Mexico-based film, Roma. Roger Hearing is joined throughout the programme by Simon Littlewood, boss of AC Growth Delivered, in Singapore, and Alison van Diggelen, host of Fresh Dialogues in Silicon Valley.
