Your morning briefing, the business news you need in just 15 minutes.


On today's podcast:


(1) Former President Donald Trump is safe after his Secret Service detail opened fire at a man who was wielding an assault rifle at his West Palm Beach, Florida, golf course Sunday, in what the Federal Bureau of Investigation called an apparent assassination attempt.


(2) Back in January, Premier Li Qiang trumpeted China’s success in exceeding its 2023 growth goal without resorting to “massive stimulus.” Repeating the same feat this year now looks less likely.


(3) The Bank of England looks set to stick to its tentative interest-rate cutting when it meets this week, defying skepticism from a growing cohort of investors who see a need for more aggressive action.


(4) Italy and the UK are poised to reaffirm their pledge to defend Ukraine as Prime Minister Keir Starmer travels to Rome to seek support for a proposal to let Kyiv use non-US long-range weapons against Russia.


(5) Widespread flooding in central and eastern Europe from days of unrelenting rain is playing havoc with rail transportation and causing more evacuations of residents as well as damage to homes and infrastructure.
