Amazon to start selling cars from next year

BBC World Service - Business Matters, Amazon to start selling cars from next year

Amazon announced a deal with Hyundai to allow car sales on its site for the first time.

Hyundai has partnered with the Internet sales giant Amazon to sell its cars on the platform starting in 2024.

Buyers in the US will be able to browse and purchase vehicles from dealers on Amazon starting from next yea. We hear if consumers are likely to buy a Hyundai car alongside their online shopping basket and why this deal will change the way we purchase cars going forward.

We take a look at the aftermath of that meeting between Joe Biden and Xi Jinping. Is anything going to change in the somewhat icy trade relations? 

And the UK luxury chocolatier Hotel Chocolat has been sold to the US confectionary giant Mars for $660 million. We find out why this deal has raised some eyebrows and if Mars can help the brand conquer the US.
