President Trump announces new sanctions on Iran

BBC World Service - Business Matters, President Trump announces new sanctions on Iran

The US has imposed sweeping new sanctions targeted at Iran's financial sector

The US has imposed sweeping new sanctions on Iran, this time targeting its major banks as the Trump administration continues its strategy of "maximum pressure." We'll hear from Barbara Slavin, Director of the Future of Iran Initiative at the Atlantic Council. Also in the programme, the selection of a new director general of the World Trade Organisation (WTO) is entering its final stage and with both the final candidates being female, whoever gets it, it will be the first time the job has been taken by a woman. We'll hear from Annamie Paul, the new leader of the Green Party of Canada on her vision for how the economy can be overhauled to create sustainable jobs. And we'll hear from one entrepreneur who has taken the pod-serving idea of coffee machines like Nespresso, and used it to serve different kinds of whiskey.

All through the show we'll be joined by financial professional Jessica Khine in Malaysia and Complete Intelligence economist Tony Nash in Texas.
