World Business Express

Available for over a year

President Trump wants Greenland - and security, money and minerals are all part of the picture. We chat to a Danish politician about how Danes are feeling about his aims. In the US, Trump also wants to crack down on payouts to executives and shareholders of major US defence contractors - and also plans to dramatically increase military spending. A defence specialist gives us the lowdown on his objectives. And tech giant Samsung expects bumper profits, so how has that affected its shares? We find out.
