Dear readers,
Donald Trump is in Beijing for a much-anticipated visit in which Chinese President Xi Jinping has already warned the U.S. leader that bilateral ties hinge on the red-line issue of Taiwan. But there are other key points that will be discussed, from AI to rare earths.
Trump reportedly also asked the Chinese leader for help getting Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz. The war in Iran may be driving up gas prices, but it is also giving the U.S. hegemony in global oil and gas exports.
Elsewhere this week, we explored how Spanish law enforcement, working with U.S. intelligence, seized the largest cocaine shipment on record, as well as the growing power of the world’s new plutocrats.
And finally, we answered a pressing question: why do luxury hotels smell so good?
