Summary

Airdate August 2 2020: U.S.-China relations have stooped to new lows. What will it take for relations to warm again? Also, what does the world make of America’s Covid-19 response? Fareed and an all-star panel discuss. Then, Pulitzer Prize-winning historian Anne Applebaum tells Fareed about the “seductive lure of authoritarianism” and just how much the U.S. is straying from its democratic roots. Finally, how is the developing world fairing against the pandemic and how might it rebound back to the developed world? The International Rescue Committee’s David Miliband tells Fareed.

GUESTS: Bob Zoellick, Anne-Marie Slaughter, Kishore Mahbubani, Anne Applebaum, David Miliband
