Venezuela wobbles, China trade talks and America’s Sikh truckers
Our new daily podcast gives you context and clarity on the stories shaping your world
INTERNATIONAL PRESSURE is mounting on the dictatorial regime of Venezuela’s Nicolás Maduro. As he hints at negotiations with a resurgent opposition, we ask how the country’s citizens make ends meet amid the misery. Trade talks between America and China will start today, but a striking American indictment against Chinese tech giant Huawei will make the talks even more tense than last time. Finally, we look at why it is getting easier to get good-quality Indian food in the truck stops of America. This episode is 27:17 minutes long.
