Is Trump a Russian Asset? – Bonus with The Guardian’s Russia expert Luke Harding
About this episode
Luke Harding discusses the implications of Trump's relationship with Putin and Russia's influence on global politics.
The first of our occasional weekend bonus episodes… Bewildered by the tangled stories of Putin’s war on Ukraine, Trump’s incomprehensible loyalty to the Russian tyrant, and Russia’s interference in British politics? The Guardian’s foreign correspondent Luke Harding ties all the threads together in his riveting new book Betrayed: Trump, Putin And The New Age Of Conquest – laying bare how thoroughly Putin played Trump and the enormity of what has happened to our old world of rules.
