Description
Your morning briefing, the business news you need in just 15 minutes.  On today’s podcast:  (1) US approval of more than $60 billion in aid throws a lifeline to Ukraine’s beleaguered military, though it’s unlikely to turn the tide in the war on its own. (2) After years of working to assure the US government that its popular social media app isn’t a threat to national security, TikTok’s loss in that fight now seems almost inevitable.(3) The European Central Bank won’t be swayed from a first interest-rate cut in June by oil price uncertainty, Governing Council member Francois Villeroy de Galhau said. (4) Asking prices for UK homes rose at the highest annual pace in 12 months, driven by more high-end houses coming to market, according to the online sales portal Rightmove. (5) Tesla is consumed by chaos in shift to Musk’s robotaxi dream: the stock is sliding, a cheaper electric car is deprioritized and the CEO is riling the workforce with his biggest layoffs yet.
