plus — a new prime minister for singapore after 20 years. we'll take a look at how it might impact the economy. hello, and welcome to business today. let's begin in the us — where thejustice department says boeing will be subjected to prosecution. this is because the plane—maker allegedly breached an agreement made in 2021. the deal shielded it from criminal charges over the fatal 737 max crashes in 2018 and 2019. boeing told the bbc that it had "honoured the terms" of the agreement with the do], and will be responding to the agency on the issue. we will be keeping a close eye on this story as it develops.

staying with the us — presidentjoe biden has increased tariffs on $18 billion worth of imports from china. he's accused the country of unfairly subsidising its clean energy sector and flooding international markets with cheap goods. from new york, the bbc�*s erin delmore has more. it's not often we find former president trump and curtin president trump and curtin president biden in agreement, but now we are seeing president biden not only keeping tariffs enacted by his predecessor, but increasing them. they focus on the key technologies that power the key technologies that power the green transition and include a 100% tariff on all chinese made electric imported into the us— that's up from 25% — and a doubling on the levy of solar cells to 50% and semiconductors. president biden says they are designed to protect us manufacturers from being undercut by chinese

industries in the future, from tvs, semiconductors, steel and aluminium, and even masks. china heavily subsidises these products, far more than the world — products, far more than the world can _ products, far more than the world can consume, and then dumps — world can consume, and then dumps them in the market at unfair— dumps them in the market at unfair prices, driving manufacturers around the world out of _ manufacturers around the world out of business.— out of business. china has criticised _ out of business. china has criticised the _ out of business. china has criticised the plans - out of business. china has criticised the plans and . out of business. china has i criticised the plans and vows to take all necessary actions in response. but those targeted represent less than 5% of us imports from china, the move could carry more symbolic weight and be a move to attract voters come november. the tariffs, which were politically motivated, will have a wide impact on supply chains. that's according to deborah elms. she's the head of trade policy at the hinrich foundation. it's really about the contested election coming up in november, and the fact that there are key battleground states which are very active in manufacturing,

and the biden administration is not interested in losing those voters. so anything you can do to demonstrate that you are tough on china is important. china has been accused of overcapacity and its market with regard to the solar panels and electric vehicles— where will it sell all those products now? i will it sell all those products now? ~' ., , will it sell all those products now? ~' ., now? i think the europeans are extremely _ now? i think the europeans are extremely excited _ now? i think the europeans are extremely excited dutch - now? i think the europeans are extremely excited dutch upset| extremely excited dutch upset about this now because it means if you won't sell electric vehicles into the us, you need to sell them somewhere in europe is the next most likely destination for those cars. they'll also be sold presumably across this region in southeast asia as well, where they will find a receptive audience because they are competitively priced and we have a lot of countries that are looking for transition towards net zero and a low carbon footprints. so i think there will be a lot of chinese cars and a lot of different markets now. do these kinds of measures _ different markets now. do these kinds of measures usually - different markets now. do these kinds of measures usually workl kinds of measures usually work or do what they are intended to do? i or do what they are intended to do? ~ or do what they are intended to do?

see in november whether it pays off. if you're taking about economics, you can have success by saving a fewjobs in the industry but at a tremendous cost. there is a cost of both sectors and jobs and consumers which i think is extremely important as well, at a time of rising inflation you havejust raised costs on clean energy products. china is preparing for a two—day visit by russian president vladimir putin starting thursday. this will be putin's second trip to the mainland in the last six months. according to the kremlin, both leaders will discuss a variety of economic and humanitarian issues. meanwhile, singapore will see a changing of the guard later today, when former finance minister lawrence wong is sworn in as the country's new prime minister. wong takes over the reins of powerfrom lee hsien loong, who has been in the top post for 20 years. veteran economist song seng wun gave us a sense of the challenges ahead.

where the challenge really lies for the new pm in terms of the last say 30—a0 years, food on the table, roof over the head, jobs for the kids and children to come, today's kids and young voters have different aspirations now and dealing with them is really about the different ambitions which include cost of living, housing and availability, even though all these things are creating better and well—paying jobs, there is almost the pressure itself. so balancing that will be the challenge. this being done is where the challenge will remain for singapore. dealing with all these aspirations will be the challenge, but we'll see how it goes. challenge, but we'll see how it noes. �* , . challenge, but we'll see how it
