About this episode

This week, we revisit two stories we brought you over the past year and discuss what has changed since then. How has trade between the US and Mexico shifted since President Donald Trump took office, and where do Canadian auto parts fit into the trade spat between the North American countries? And, how one manufacturing plant in Fargo, North Dakota is navigating legal immigration challenges that impact its workforce. Later, how did New Orleans come back twenty years after the city’s worst disaster?
