U.S. economy shrinks, deported Cuban mother and Europe's mystery blackout

from Reuters World News · host Reuters

U.S. President Donald Trump touts his economic policies as he marks 100 days in office. But for the first time in three years the U.S. economy contracted in the first quarter. Polling shows Americans growing more skeptical of his hardline approaches on trade and immigration. We look at the case of a woman deported to Cuba while her one-year-old daughter remains in the United States. Plus, the cause of a massive power outage in Spain and Portugal is still a mystery.
