How is former President Trump proposing a NATO ban on Russian oil and tariffs on China to pressure the war in Ukraine?
NATO member states to collectively stop buying Russian oil exports. In a post to social media, Trump argued such moves could quickly force an end to Russia's war in Ukraine. From Moscow and Pierre's Charles Main's report.
Trump called for a collective NATO ban on Russian oil, arguing some member states' continued purchase of Russian crude was undermining NATO's bargaining power over Moscow. NATO member Turkey is the third largest buyer of Russian oil after China and India. Trump also called on alliance members to impose steep tariffs on China, up to 100%, so long as Beijing's purchases of Russian petroleum continue to help fund the war. It comes just days.

Why did Kathleen Ethier face multiple obstacles getting a COVID‑19 vaccine in Georgia and what does it reveal about vaccine access?
Vaccines are starting to become available, but because of rule changes this year, they're not so easy for everyone to get. MPR's Ping Huang has the story of what it took to get one in Georgia just this week.
Kathleen Ethier is traveling to California next week, a state in the middle of a COVID surge, and she has a spouse who survived cancer.
I shouldn't be bringing COVID into the house.
Ethier is under sixty five years old, so she doesn't automatically qualify for a COVID booster, since C FDA approved it with restrictions last month. She couldn't get a prescription from her primary care provider who retired. Another doctor suggested the CBS Minute Clinic. Ethier went twice, but it was randomly closed. Then she got an online appointment and went back a third time to get the shot.
All the well that ended well.
Still, it took a lot to get it.
I had time and insurance. A car. Like the ability to go back multiple times.
Ethier worries that the kinds of barriers she encountered will discourage others from getting the vaccine. Ping Huang, NPR News.
