Friday, 25 September, 2026
In this episode, we discuss Xi’s upcoming visit to the U.S. next week. Will there be a breakthrough on critical minerals? Is AI regulation on the agenda, and where is the AI race between the two countries heading? Next, is everything coming up roses for the Far Right in Europe? We examine the far right’s AfD’s victory in local German elections and what it means for the future of Europe. Finally, oil prices are rising sharply. What is behind the surge? Is there hope on the horizon or are energy markets at a breaking point?
