About this episode

The episode discusses various political events including Trump's comments on a shooting suspect, King Charles's U.S. visit, and China's economic measures, alongside the achievement of Sabastian Sawe in marathon running.

U.S. President Donald Trump calls the White House Correspondents Dinner shooting suspect a “pretty sick guy,” while using the attack to tout his presidency’s impact. A manifesto written by the suspect raises questions about Trump’s security arrangements. King Charles pushes ahead with his U.S. visit as the UK looks to repair strained ties with Washington. China’s new legal and economic tools punish companies that shift supply chains away from Beijing. Iran diplomacy stalls as Trump tells Tehran to pick up the phone. And Kenya's Sabastian Sawe shatters the two-hour marathon mark in London. Listen to the Morning Bid podcast ⁠⁠here⁠⁠. Sign up for the Reuters Econ World newsletter ⁠⁠here⁠⁠.
