About this episode
The episode discusses progress on the Iran war, political dynamics in the Senate, World Cup broadcasting issues in Asia, and challenges facing rice production due to economic factors.
U.S. President Donald Trump says there’s progress on ending the Iran war and pauses a mission to escort ships through the Strait of Hormuz. Democrats see veteran populist Sherrod Brown as their best bet to retake Ohio, and the Senate. Millions of soccer fans in India and China might not be able to watch next month’s World Cup. And the world’s most consumed staple – rice – is under threat because of fertilizer shortages and soaring fuel costs from the Iran war. Listen to the Morning Bid podcast here.
