About this episode

Freddy Gray and Francis Pike discuss Trump's foreign policy and its implications on global power dynamics.

After Trump visited Xi Jinping last week, Putin is now expected to meet the Chinese leader in Beijing. Freddy Gray speaks to Francis Pike about these meetings, and Francis makes the case that despite the Iran war, America – thanks to Trump – remains the global super power. Also on the podcast, they discuss Modi's attempts to curb collateral from the oil shortages and why he's a leader like no other.
