President Trump Entertains Idea Of United States Joining The Trans-Pacific Partnership After Exiting Last Year
President Trump is considering joining the Trans-Pacific Partnership after withdrawing from the multi-nation trade agreement last year. Trump tweeted that the agreement would have to be “substantially better than the deal” than President Obama agreed to while he was in office. But the reaction to the news was mixed from leaders of the countries who negotiated and signed onto the deal in 2016. We speak with Mark Copelovitch, associate professor of political science & public affairs at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, about the TPP and what could happen next.

We speak to an author about how Kubrick’s use of music and sound in the film set the stage for an hypnotic, philosophical journey through space.
