Summary

Today on the show, Fareed speaks with Richard Haass, president emeritus of the Council on Foreign Relations, about President Trump’s foreign policy, from his proposal to “take over” Gaza, to the potential for a new nuclear deal with Iran. Next, President of the International Rescue Committee David Miliband discusses how the Trump administration’s decision to all but shutter USAID will impact the world’s most vulnerable people. Then, Mathias Döpfner, CEO of Axel Springer, speaks with Fareed about the danger of increasing US tariffs on Europe, and how the EU and the US ought rather to work together to counter autocratic powers globally. After that, Syria is at a crossroads following the ouster of long-time dictator Bashar al-Assad. Syrian-American journalist Alia Malek describes the “hopeful and vigilant” mood among the Syrian people. Finally, Americas Quarterly Editor-in-Chief Brian Winter joins the show to discuss El Salvador’s offer to jail US prisoners, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s visit to Latin America, and the new administration’s focus on the region.
