Donald Trump will decide if the US gets directly involved in the Iran-Israel conflict within the next two weeks. Trump made waves – and charmed voters – by promising an ‘America First’ foreign policy. With the Middle East on the brink, what that means is up for debate. On this episode of The President’s Path, Caitríona Perry, Sumi Somaskanda, and Bernd Debusmann Jr. break down the complexities of Trump’s approach to Iran and the challenges it poses for US foreign policy. Every weekend, The President’s Path explores the state of US politics — in Washington and beyond. We dig into the key issues shaping America and uncover what’s on the minds of those closest to power.
