Taking stock: Bad blood, bad neighbours and the return of Elizabeth Holmes
Can a $5,000-per-person pledge from Trump win votes as his trade war with Canada deepens? Apple's better-late-than-never foldable iPhone and the return of Elizabeth Holmes.
Mark Carney and Donald Trump go tit-for-tat as the list of goods subject to tariffs between the US and Canada continues to grow. But will higher import taxes on products crossing the border make cost-of-living pressures even worse for Canadians and Americans? Takara Small in Toronto and Andy Uhler in Austin join Will Bain to discuss the highlights and lowlights of the week's business news, including the much-hyped launch of Apple's first foldable smartphone and the return, at least in cinemas, of convicted fraudster Elizabeth Holmes.
