Episode Details

Original tape date: April 17, 2018. First aired: April 23, 2018.

In 2016, Council on Foreign Relations President Richard Haass foresaw a “world in disarray” with daunting challenges in the presidential inbox. Today, as we face a spur-of-the-moment summit with North Korea, possible roll-back of the Iran nuclear deal, trade war with China, and tensions with the Russians over Syria, complicated by a domestic cloud over the presidency, Haass tells Jim Zirin he sees a dangerous period riddled with even greater problems of our own making.
