The deep and dramatic changes the Trump administration proposed and imposed have fundamentally changed the way the US does business. On today’s Big Take podcast, host David Gura and Bloomberg’s Nancy Cook and Mark Niquette discuss which initiatives have had the biggest impact so far and which are likely to last.

Trump’s Economy, One (Second) Year In

For Beijing, the US capture of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro was a mixed bag -- an embarrassing surprise, a wake-up call over its alliances in Latin America and an opening to step up on the world stage, according to Nicholas Burns, the former US ambassador to China.
 
On today’s Big Take, host David Gura and Ambassador Burns discuss how President Donald Trump’s military actions and threats are reshaping China’s relationships across the Pacific and the Taiwan Strait—and how the so-called “Donroe Doctrine” could ultimately hand China a global edge.

The Domino Effect of the ‘Donroe Doctrine’

Since the 2008 financial crisis, private equity firms and other large investors have bought hundreds of thousands of homes across the US, expanding their footprint in the American real estate market. But President Trump blindsided the industry with a Truth Social post last week, announcing he would push for a ban on Wall Street investors scooping up single-family homes.
 
On today’s Big Take podcast, Bloomberg real estate reporter Patrick Clark and Bloomberg CityLab reporter Kriston Capps join host Sarah Holder to explain how big investors got a slice of the US housing market and whether pushing them out would actually put a dent in the country’s affordability crisis.

Trump’s Latest Target: Corporate Landlords

Weeks of protests in Iran started over the high price of food and essential goods. They quickly engulfed the nation and, before long, were met with deadly force by the Iranian regime’s security forces. 
 
The violent crackdown has drawn international condemnation and President Trump has offered protestors his support. 
 
On today’s Big Take podcast, host David Gura and International Crisis Group’s Iran Project Director Ali Vaez discuss how we got here, the existential threats facing the Iranian regime and what could come next if it falls.

Pressure Is Mounting on Iran's Regime

This week, following the deadly shooting of Renée Good by an ICE agent in Minneapolis, the state of Minnesota sued the federal government in a bid to kick out thousands of Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents.
 
On today’s Big Take podcast, Sarah Holder is joined by Bloomberg immigration reporter Alicia Caldwell and the National Immigration Law Center’s Efrén Olivares to discuss how a rapid evolution under President Trump has reshaped ICE — and how states are responding to unprecedented waves of federal enforcers.

Minnesota v. ICE

On Sunday night, Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell announced that the US Department of Justice had served the Fed with grand jury subpoenas threatening a criminal indictment over a costly renovation of the central bank’s building.
 
It was a watershed moment in the escalating tension between the Trump administration and the US central bank. 
 
On today’s Big Take podcast, host David Gura sits down with Fed reporters Amara Omeokwe and Enda Curran to discuss what this means for one of the most important financial institutions in the world, for Powell, for the White House — and where things could go from here.

Powell Makes His Case to The American People

After the Trump Administration’s strike on Venezuela and the arrest of President Nicolás Maduro, there’s one word on everyone’s mind: oil. President Trump has big plans for the country’s vast reserves, which today account for just 1% percent of global production.
 
On today’s Big Take podcast, host David Gura and Bloomberg Opinion’s Javier Blas talk through the Trump Administration’s gamble on Venezuela’s oil, how the president plans to convince the energy industry to invest in the country’s aging infrastructure, and why its resources are key to the administration’s plans at home and abroad.

Why Trump Wants Venezuela’s Oil

Within days of the US raid on Venezuela, President Donald Trump and his administration turned their attention to Greenland, renewing European fears that the US would try to take territory belonging to its longtime NATO ally, Denmark. 

On today’s Big Take podcast, Bloomberg’s Sanne Wass in Denmark and Joe Deaux, who covers Greenland, join host Sarah Holder to discuss what days of escalating rhetoric around the strategically located Arctic island could mean for Denmark, Russia and the future of NATO.

After Venezuela, Is Greenland Next?

The US House of Representatives will vote today on whether to extend subsidies for the Affordable Care Act that bring down health care costs for millions of Americans. 
 
The subsidies expired at the end of December, and lawmakers returned to Capitol Hill after their winter break just as divided over the issue as they were before the holidays. 
 
On today’s Big Take podcast, Bloomberg Congress reporter Caitlin Reilly joins host David Gura to discuss the sticking points between Republicans and Democrats and where that stalemate leaves Americans who rely on ACA subsidies in the final weeks of open enrollment.

The ACA Subsidies Fight Hits the House Floor

The US strike on Venezuela and capture of President Nicolás Maduro sent shockwaves across the globe — particularly in China, Venezuela’s top crude buyer and creditor.
 
On today’s Big Take Asia Podcast, Bloomberg’s Jenni Marsh and host K. Oanh Ha talk through what the intervention means for China’s strategic ties and oil supplies and how the military strike could change Beijing’s stance toward Taiwan.

How Venezuela Shifts China’s Calculus

Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 took off from Kuala Lumpur just after midnight on March 8, 2014. Aviation officials lost contact with the flight less than an hour later. MH370 never made it to its destination, and the 239 people on board were never found. Ten years later, what happened to the plane is still aviation’s biggest mystery.
 

In the wake of the accident, regulators proposed a key safety change that could prevent a plane from disappearing again. But after a decade, most planes are still not outfitted with the proposed tracking tools. On today’s Big Take podcast, Bloomberg reporter Angus Whitley shares why the airline industry has been slow to learn from the lessons of MH370 — and what that means for the odds of another disaster like it happening again.
