Iran ‘ceasefire’ / Hungary election / U.S.-NATO tension

About this episode

The episode discusses NATO's challenges amid U.S.-Iran tensions and covers Hungary's recent election.

President Trump is threatening NATO — again. NATO — is bracing for divorce. Can the transatlantic relationship be saved? Host Mary Louise Kelly speaks with NPR National Security correspondent Greg Myre and NPR International Correspondent Rob Schmitz about how the war with Iran is affecting the U.S. alliance with Europe. Rob also opens his reporter's notebook and shares what it was like covering Hungary's historic election that ousted the longest-serving leader in the European Union, Prime Minister Viktor Orbán.
