Geo answer
For today’s Geo Quiz, we wanted you to name two countries looking to erase an old debt. The answer is North Korea and the Czech Republic. North Korea owes the Czech Republic about ten million dollars and they’re offering to pay a fraction of that debt now, but not in cash. It wants to pay in ginseng. Anchor Katy Clark speaks to the BBC’s Rob Cameron who is in Prague.
