About this episode

Finance editor Alex Frangos says new concerns that China is catching up in the technological arms race come just as investors brace for updates on how much hyperscalers are spending on the AI buildout. Plus, as Volodymyr Zelensky returns to the White House, WSJ’s Marcus Walker says the Ukrainian president is hoping to turn President Trump’s fresh optimism about the war against Russia into a promise of more support. And Mercedes-Benz is the latest automaker to warn of headwinds in China, as the country’s appetite for foreign cars continues to decline. Luke Vargas hosts.
