From potentially illegal giveaways to shady trade deals, Donald Trump and Elon Musk’s relationship has drawn a lot of scrutiny.

Where in the world are babies at the lowest risk of dying? It’s difficult to compare countries because they don’t always measure infant mortality in the same way. Which country is the safest for a baby to be born? Answering this question might seem easy: divide the number of infants who die by the total number of infants born; make a map of these rates and find the lowest number. But while these comparisons are very helpful in identifying the huge differences across countries, things get a bit
