Summary
Washington sanctions 12 entities for helping Iran ship oil to China, as President Donald Trump heads to Beijing to meet with President Xi Jinping. A new Reuters/Ipsos poll shows voters blame Trump’s Republicans as gas prices spike and household finances take a hit. All passengers from the hantavirus-hit MV Hondius are off the cruise ship and being flown home. A growing number of anti-AIPAC Democratic primary challengers force a party reckoning. And the Eurovision Song Contest opens under a cloud of boycotts over Israeli participation and changes to public voting rules. Listen to the Morning Bid podcast here.
