Republican fissures, Kushner’s resort and screwworm

About this episode

The episode discusses U.S. House votes on Ukraine aid, protests in Albania against a tourism complex linked to Jared Kushner, and the first confirmed U.S. case of the screwworm affecting meat prices.

The U.S. House votes for Ukraine aid in defiance of President Donad Trump and Senate Republicans only narrowly defeat a Democratic amendment to kill his $1.8 billion “anti-weaponization” fund. Thousands of Albanians protest in Tirana against a coastal tourism complex linked to Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner. And the first confirmed U.S. case of the flesh-eating screwworm could bump up meat prices. Listen to the Morning Bid podcast ⁠⁠here⁠⁠. Sign up for the Reuters Econ World newsletter ⁠⁠here⁠⁠.
