A couple of international stories worth knowing this morning:

French police arrested a Saudi national at the Charles de Gaulle airport yesterday over journalist Jamal Khashoggi’s murder. A French official said that prosecutors are still confirming the suspect’s identity. (Financial Times)

The EU has proposed a new anti-coercion law that could see it retaliate with tariffs and quotas when countries (ahem: China, Russia) impose trade sanctions on member states, but some fear the wide-ranging powers could breach WTO rules and damage global trade. (Financial Times)
