Political Tensions and Social Confrontations in D.C.

Will Zelensky find any success with Trump, in the wake of the Alaska Summit? What does the militarisation of Washington DC tell us about America’s political direction? And why are MPs making TikToks? 

Rebecca Moore is joined by the Financial Times’ Working It Editor Isabel Berwick, Plus The 

Observer’s Katie Riley and Stephen Armstrong, as each try to pitch the top story of the day.
