Analyzing Donald Trump’s agenda in the Middle East with Steven Cook of the Foreign Relations Council.
The president of the United States, Donald Trump, and his predecessor Barack Obama, because the same things in the Middle East, argues Steven Cook, principal member of the Foreign Affairs Council: “Unhooking the United States from their foreign adventures.”
Cook tells the host Steve Clemons that Trump wants an agreement with Iran, and can press Israel to put an end to his war against Gaza before his trip of proposition to the Gulf region next month.
There is a “trusted deficit” between Trump and Israeli leader Benjamin Netanyahu, add Cook, and this explains why Trump told Netanyahu to “be reasonable” with respect to Syria and Turkiye president, Recep Tayyip Erdogan.
