Description
Ryanair 4978 started like any flight. But everything changed when the
plane was forced to land in Minsk at the behest of Belarusian President
Alexander Lukashenko to arrest a dissident journalist. POLITICO Europe’s
David M. Herszenhorn gives an inside look at the flight that shook the
world — and breaks down why the EU and the US might have to rethink
their responses to the incident. Plus, McCarthy condemns Rep. Greene's
Holocaust rhetoric as "appalling." And Senate Republicans plan to
present the White House with another infrastructure counteroffer.
David M. Herszenhorn is the Chief Brussels Correspondent for POLITICO
Europe.
Jeremy Siegel is a host for POLITICO Dispatch.
Irene Noguchi is the executive producer of POLITICO audio.
Jenny Ament is the senior producer of POLITICO audio.
