As the Saudi-backed LIV Golf tournament begins, fans and athletes debate whether pros can simultaneously condemn human rights violations in Saudi Arabia and accept the Kingdom’s prize money. President of LIV Golf Atul Khosla tells CNBC’s Dominic Chu that it’s no different from a private equity fund’s commercial investment: just business. NYT foreign affairs op-ed columnist and author Tom Friedman discusses the geopolitics on New Jersey’s Bedmin green as well as other global headlines. He comments on President Biden’s two-hour phone call with President Xi Jinping, Nancy Pelosi’s upcoming trip to Taiwan, and the impact of China’s role in Ukraine on Sino-American relations. Plus, the power of the Kardashians: Instagram is rolling back its planned app changes after the influencer moguls brought their feedback to Meta.
