Trump's Gangsterism in Venezuela, BCCI and Bangladesh, No Justice for Umar-Sharjeel

from The Wire Wrap · host thewirewrap

The US under Trump has conducted large-scale military strikes in Venezuela and captured President Nicolas Maduro and his wife. Trump has assented to a Russia sanctions bill that could potentially increase tariffs on India from 50% to 500% if passed. Cricket has become the latest ground for rising tensions between India and Bangladesh. And the Supreme Court has denied bail to Umar Khalid and Sharjeel Imam in what has been called the Delhi riots ‘larger conspiracy’ case, while granting bail to five others. The Wire's Jahnavi Sen discusses all of this with Professor Anuradha Chenoy, who taught at the School of International Studies, Jawaharlal Nehru University, and Siddharth Varadarajan, Founding Editor of The Wire. Edit notes: The trade referenced at 9:35 is $100 billion.
