In what’s being described as an ‘unprecedented’ deal, Nvidia and AMD agree to pay the Trump administration 15 percent of their sales to China in exchange for export licences. We’ll be in Asia and the US examining what the move means for the US microchip makers - and the industry.
And with plans for US tariffs on pharmaceuticals to eventually reach as much as 250 percent, how will that affect companies that make the ingredients for those medicines? We’ll be hearing from one such business.
