World Business Report - Trump leaves, Putin enters

Hot on the heels of the US President, the Russian leader is the latest to meet with President Xi in Beijing, signing over 20 agreements on trade and technology.

The two leaders failed to come to an agreement on a long awaited Russian gas pipeline between the countries. China is Russia's top trading partner and also its biggest customer for oil and gas.

Elsewhere, we hear from Greenland where President Trump's envoy has turned up at one of the country's biggest business conferences.
