Will Trump Profit from War with Iran?
About this episode
Alex Wagner explores the implications of Trump's foreign policy and its connections to corruption, featuring insights from experts on the influence of Saudi Arabia.
How can we make sense of America’s senseless war with Iran? This week, Alex asks if President Trump’s web of corruption extends to his foreign policy. First she speaks to Sarah Leah Whitson, the former Executive Director of DAWN (Democracy for the Arab World Now), to see how much sway Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman holds over Trump. Then, PSA co-host Jon Lovett joins the pod to talk about how America will claw its way back once this administration is done extracting from it for profit.
