Snookered
David Rowe
In the wake of COVID-19 Rowe brings a worried bunch of world leaders together for a game of snooker over the fate of the world. US President Donald Trump fixes his eyes on Chinese leader Xi Jinping. The world’s two largest economies, those of China and the United States, have been engaged in a trade war for years. This struggle was weighing heavily on the global economy even before the pandemic struck.
