Tesco boss: We are exiting US

Tesco boss Philip Clarke will face pressure to deliver on his £1bn turnaround plan after its annual results have revealed a sales slowdown and the first fall in its annual profits in 20 years.

Tesco has also announced it will exit the US after its Fresh & Easy stores failed to make a profit in the US.

Speaking to Today business presenter Simon Jack, Mr Clarke explained that "last year I said that I would take tough decisions for the good of the business."

"I'd rather just move on," he added and said that he wanted to focus on Tesco in the UK.
