Duo’s lingo: what to watch for in Trump-Xi summit

The Intelligence

The meeting between President Donald Trump and his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping will set the tone for three more this year. We examine what and what not to expect. Pepsi has been losing ground to Coca Cola recently; to catch up, it may have to become more like its rival. And this year’s Venice Biennale is uncomfortably besieged by geopolitics.

  • Shera Avi-Yonah, business correspondent
  • Alexandra Suich Bass, culture editor
  • Rosie Blau, co-host of “The Intelligence”
  • Jason Palmer, co-host of “The Intelligence”
