The episode discusses Donald Trump's shift in focus from Iran to Ukraine and the implications of his peace efforts.

Donald Trump has signed a 14-point agreement with Iran, trying to bring an end to a war he helped start. Satisfied his work is done in the Middle East, Trump now wants to move onto peace in Ukraine.
