‘Middle powers' may be having a moment at the G7 summit

from PRI’s The World: Latest Edition · host PRI’s The World: Latest Edition

Earlier this year, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney urged countries caught between the world's superpowers to work together and forge a "third path." Now, as leaders gather for the G7 summit in France, questions remain about whether Carney can translate that vision into real influence. Also, a US airstrike on a compound in Venezuela that killed the leader of the Tren de Aragua gang last week could open the door to the country’s mineral wealth. And, Greenland's melting glaciers are contributing to rising sea levels. Plus, underdog teams are undermining some of the best at this year’s World Cup.Our reporting is independent, inclusive and in-depth. Best of all, it’s listener-supported.
