This Economist Intelligence podcast covers three main topics: the decline of wild salmon stocks in Norway, largely attributed to fish farming practices and potentially climate change; the meeting between Emmanuel Macron and Donald Trump, focusing on potential American backing for European peacekeeping forces in Ukraine and the implications for European strategic autonomy; and the challenges faced by the Michelin Guide in maintaining its relevance in the age of online food reviews and social media influencers. The podcast highlights the alarming decrease in mature female salmon returning to spawn, impacting future generations. Macron's cautious optimism regarding Trump's commitment to supporting European peacekeeping efforts is discussed, along with the ongoing debate about increased European defense spending. Finally, Michelin's expansion into new markets and categories, including a focus on sustainability and affordable dining, is presented as a response to increased competition in the culinary world.
