Nick, I've only been away for a week and the world's been busy while I've been away,

particularly because of one man and he's, even by Donald Trump's standards, he's had quite a week,

has he not?

It has been a breathtaking, stomach-churning roller coaster of a ride.

The week begins with the president threatening tariffs,

not just on his trade enemies, we expected that, but on his neighbours and close allies.

That well-known foe Canada. Yeah. And by the way, saying to the Canadians, not only do we want to charge you much more

to have your goods imported, we quite like to take over your country as well, if that's all right,

make you the 51st state of the United States. And then by the end of the week, he is tearing up

decades, and I do mean decades of international diplomacy diplomacy to suggest that instead of the Palestinians

having their own state, instead of them living alongside Israel, they should be shipped off

on mass, the critics say ethnically cleansed, in order that he, Donald Trump, can build

and own, it seems, on behalf of the United States of America, the new rivery era of the Middle East on that coastline.

He is a real estate developer from New York. He's used to big real estate projects and developments and big buildings.

And he did this press conference with Bibi Netanyahu in Washington, talking about Gaza as if it was the site of his next real estate development. Well, maybe it is. And maybe it is. And, of course, his son-in-law, Jared Kushner, has got a great interest in that kind of world as well. It's worth saying that almost every regional leader, Egypt, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, have issued statements saying, we're not entirely sure this is a good plan. But Bibi Netanyahu seemed to go along with it quite well. Something about being in the presence of Donald Trump makes it quite hard to disagree with Donald Trump when you're standing beside him. And that's what we're looking at. How do you deal with this guy? People tend to say you have to deal with him by going along with his plans, by agreeing with him. But this is a week in which

Kirstama was trying to reset the relationship between the UK and the EU. And he denied that he

had a choice between being nice to Europeans and nice to the man who's running the United

States. It is a week in which we're exploring. How on earth do you make sense of this

new Trump world? How do you deal with the guy? Well, you may have other interests, different interests

to the ones he's got. And we've got two absolutely wonderful and hugely qualified guests.
