U.S. President Donald Trump faces a Republican revolt – including a shouting showdown with Senator Bill Cassidy – over his Iran deal. Millions of Americans are cut off from food stamps under his sweeping tax and spending cuts. And as Europe swelters in a record heatwave, air-conditioning becomes France’s latest political hot potato. **This episode has been corrected to remove a line saying Keiko Fujimori would be Peru's first female president. Dina Boluarte was Peru's first female president. If confirmed by the electoral authority, Fujimori will become Peru's first elected female president. Listen to the Morning Bid podcast ⁠⁠here⁠⁠.
