Paramount ⁠Skydance pauses its $110bn acquisition ⁠of Warner ‌Bros ‌Discovery

World Business Report

Available for over a year

Paramount agrees to pause its Warner Bros deal after dozen US states seek to block this deal. We look at the impact of US tariffs of between 10 and 12.5% on imports from many of America’s major trading partners. And how OpenAI's recent rogue attack on a fellow company may influence other AI firms to look at their cyber security systems.
