Tesco faces £1bn US blow

Results to be published on Wednesday are expected to show Tesco has lost £1bn on its Fresh & Easy venture in the United States.

The 200-store chain in California, Arizona and Nevada has failed to attract enough shoppers and will be closed.

The retailer’s profits are set to drop 10% to £3.4bn, with the cost of reviving the British business and the horsemeat scandal also proving to be negative factors.
