Episode description

With US President Donald Trump's tax cut and spending bill facing opposition from both Democrats and fellow Republicans during a rare overnight session in Congress, is America's economy standing at a crossroads?

It could bring tax reductions, and tighten the availability of healthcare, but increase the United States' debt by $3 trillion.

David Harper speaks to our correspondent in Johannesburg as we examine South Africa's latest attempt to pass a budget, and we look at whether Columbia is possibly the most dangerous place in the world to be a Trade Unionist.

The latest business and finance news from around the world, on the BBC.
