In China visit, Putin pushes for closer trade and energy ties
Russian President Vladimir Putin, right, is welcomed by Chinese officials at an airport upon his arrival in Harbin, China, on May 17, 2024.
Migrants heading from South America to the United States must cross a treacherous jungle known as the Darien Gap. To prepare for the perils ahead, people embarking on that journey now turn to their phones for crucial information. Enter a new social media influencer: documenting the route, and offering survival do’s and don’ts for those who come. Plus, Chinese President Xi Jinping and Russian President Vladimir Putin meet again. In their talks, the two leaders condemned the United States, and embraced one another’s causes. That includes Chinese support for Russia in the war in Ukraine. And it’s been described as the “United Nations of sweat”: a spa, in Brooklyn, that brings together wellness and relaxation traditions from around the globe. We’ll take you there.
