What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
This week on Leaders, with me, Francine Lacqua. I speak to tennis legend Rafa Nadal about how he stayed competitive despite injury.
I was able to enjoy the victories probably more than if I will not have this issue.
One iconic match.
In my mind was, I am almost dead.
And whether he misses playing.
I don't miss tennis because there was nothing else to offer.
Listen and watch Leaders with me, Francine Lacroix, on Bloomberg Television or wherever you get your podcasts.
News when you want it with Bloomberg News Now. I'm Karen Moscow. President Trump has arrived in Turkey for the NATO summit. He was welcomed in Ankara by Turkish President Erdogan. We get more with Bloomberg Turkey Deputy Bureau Chief Beryl Ackman.
This is the first time in more than a decade that a U.S. president is visiting Turkey. So it's monumental for Erdogan and for his image at the NATO summit. Under President Trump, Turkey and the U.S. have boosted a very good relationship, and the U.S. president, right before his departure to Ankara, has said that he's joining the NATO summit out of his respect for President Erdogan.
And that's Bloomberg's Beryl Ackman. Just before Air Force One touched down in Ankara, NATO hosted a defense forum that spotlighted billions of dollars in military projects aimed at demonstrating to President Trump that European allies are investing more of their own money in defense. A Qatari liquefied natural gas carrier was hit and a laden Saudi oil tanker suffered damage as they exited the Strait of Hormuz, heightening unease among ship owners and testing a U.S.-Iran agreement to halt attacks. The incidents are a reminder of the continued risk to ships crossing through Hormuz even after an interim peace deal was signed between the U.S. and Iran last month. We get more with Bloomberg's Anne-Marie Hordern.
This is really important for a number of reasons. One, it shows that the ceasefire right now is quite fragile. Second, it shows that even if you are a mediator, like Qatar, like Doha, and you are trying to forge ahead with the MOU during these peace talks to get to a more sustainable peace, that you potentially are not safe, even though you are playing this role as a mediator.
And that's boomers Anne-Marie Hordern. Iran has repeatedly said it will not allow vessels to transit the waterway without its permission. Explosions have rocked Syria's capital as France's president is visiting and the interior ministry says at least 18 people were wounded. This marks the second attack in Damascus in a week. French President Emmanuel Macron was in the presidential palace during the blast but was unharmed. Maine Democrat Graham Plattner is under pressure from party leaders and allies to end his bid for a Senate seat following a sexual assault allegation he has denied. Plattner said in a social media video that he would reflect on the best path forward for his campaign after the allegation was published by Politico.
Any accusation of nonconsensual behavior is categorically false.
What is President Trump's significance at the NATO summit in Turkey?
Regardless of the inaccuracy of the reporting, but mindful of the political reality it will inflict, we are taking the time to reflect on the best path forward for the state that I love, the people that I love, the movement I belong to, and the goal of defeating Susan Collins.
Graham Plattner has one week to decide whether to drop out of Maine's Senate race against Republican incumbent Susan Collins. Amazon.com looking to raise at least $25 billion from a U.S. dollar bond sale, its latest funding push as the company ramps up investment in artificial intelligence infrastructure. Sources tell Bloomberg the size of the offering could increase depending on investor demand. Reuters is reporting China's DeepSeek is developing its own chip to help power artificial intelligence systems. We get more with Bloomberg's Ed Ludlow.
And what Reuters is reporting is that this is focused on inference, running the models, which is a decades-long market opportunity, right? It's far into the future. DeepSeq raised $7 billion in the month of June, and that sounds like a lot of money.
