Unilever (UL) exited Russia because it was losing control of the business there, said chief executive Hein Schumacher. He says it was a difficult decision, but the right one. He speaks to Bloomberg's Francine Lacqua about that move, the possible impact of new tariffs out of the US, and spinning off the Ben & Jerry's ice cream brand.
