EU gotta know when to hold ‘em: America’s latest trade deal

The Intelligence podcast episode covers three distinct topics: a new trade accord between the US and the EU, the overlooked English Midlands and its need for a rebrand, and the obituary of Fauja Singh, a marathon runner who started running at age 88. The discussion on the US-EU trade deal involves analyzing the details of the agreement, including tariffs and commitments to purchase American goods, and its potential impact on both economies. The segment on the Midlands explores its cultural richness, political importance, and lack of regional pride, suggesting ways to promote its identity. Finally, the obituary of Fauja Singh highlights his extraordinary achievements as a marathon runner despite his old age and early physical challenges, while also noting the frustrating lack of official recognition due to the absence of a birth certificate.
