EL PAÍS (News in English)

To the Moon and the abyss

Dear readers,

With the Artemis 2 mission now underway, our columnist Boris Muñoz reflects on the fact that in the world we live in, creation and destruction often go hand in hand. And what is striking is that the same nation, under Donald Trump, is capable of producing two such contradictory feats simultaneously.

Despite the bad news coming out of the Gulf, the U.S. president is getting support from unexpected places. In the Canadian province of Alberta, a small but vocal separatist movement is working to drum up support to become the 51st state of America.

On the subject of Iran, Larry Fink, the CEO of BlackRock, told EL PAÍS in a lengthy interview that if the war stretches out for more than a year, the world will enter a recession. But he seemed confident that a solution will be found and that the markets will remain strong.

We also spoke with Eliades Ochoa, one of the members of the legendary Buena Vista Social Club, who at nearly 80 years of age is still performing the traditional Cuban music that he helped popularize across the globe.

We hope you enjoy this selection of stories from EL PAÍS USA Edition.
