E.U. nations disagree over the latest plan to resettle migrants. China’s President Xi Jinping arrives in the U.S. for a state visit. And the German government comes under fire over the Volkswagen emissions scandal.

Carnegie’s Moisés Naím appeared on NPR's Diane Rehm Show to discuss these issues with Nancy Youssef and Geoff Dyer.
