USA correspondent Ron Elving

Ron says the presidential cycle is beginning in both Democrat and Republican stables, he looks at who is in the running so far. Also uncertainty abounds about the direction of the US economy, the war in Ukraine and US-China relations. And there's much talk about President Biden's age, and former President Trump's uncertain status with both the law and with Republican voters.
