About this episode

The episode discusses Trump's recent shift in foreign policy regarding Iran and the implications for his presidency.

Trump, 90 minutes before his promise that a "whole civilisation will die" on Tuesday night, steps back from the brink. A commitment to a ceasefire with Iran - negotiations to begin in Pakistan on Friday. Iranians are celebrating this as a great success - as a capitulation from the Americans. The Trump administration is steadfast that it’s an American win. And yet, missiles still rain down in Israel, Qatar and Kuwait. And for Americans, what next for a president who swings from genocidal threats to embarrassing U-turn? You can watch all episodes on our YouTube channel .
