Have US tariffs backfired?

BBC World Service - Business Matters, Have US tariffs backfired?

US tech firms say the trade war with China is costing them, and ultimately US consumers.

American businesses have been a hit - from American tariffs imposed on other countries

American businesses have been hit - from American tariffs imposed on other countries. Farmers in the US tell us more. As a big cobalt mine is closed, we look at the potential impact on the electric car battery market. And vodka from a radioactive zone  - we hear about the first officially sanctioned consumable product from the exclusion zone of Chernobyl. We discuss all this with guests Diane Brady, author and media advisor in New York, and Simon Littlewood, President at the Asia Now Consulting Group in Singapore.
