Australian and Canadian-run companies, some with questionable credentials, are trying to cash in on Donald Trump's promotion of deep sea mining licences. The US licensing disregards the international regulator, the International Seabed Authority. Plus, the US Administration is moving to open up a big slab of the seabed off American Samoa and the Northern Mariana Islands, despite those territories' objections. • Guest: Todd Woody, reporter, Bloomberg News. Specialises in the environment, and oceans in particular • Producer: Ann Arnold
