Puerto Rico exits bankruptcy
ResumePuerto Rico has officially exited bankruptcy. Five years ago, saddled with debts it could not pay, the territory began negotiating a restructuring plan that reduces what it owes.

Host Scott Tong speaks with Luis Valentin, a reporter for Puerto Rico's Center for Investigative Journalism.
