Also on the show: activists on board a flotilla sailing toward Gaza say they have been intercepted by the Israeli navy; European leaders meeting in Copenhagen are discussing how to focus the continent’s defenses and reinforce support for Ukraine; the US trade accord which granted duty-free access for 1,800 products from 32 African nations has expired. Guests include: Paul Gruenwald, S&P Global Ratings, Global Chief Economist; Randy Schwimmer, Churchill Asset Management, Vice Chairman & Chief Investment Strategist; Mary Vilakazi, FirstRand, CEO.
Please note: an on-air graphic listed the number of countries eligible for AGOA as 35. The correct number is 32.
