Ukraine's Urgent Defense Needs

Today on the show, Fareed speaks with former Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba about the response in Kyiv as the US has decided to pause military aid and intelligence following last week’s Oval Office showdown between Presidents Trump and Zelensky, and whether Europe will be able to fill the void. 

Next, senior writer for the New York Times Katrin Bennhold joins the show to discuss the likely next chancellor of Germany’s striking remarks that he wants to strengthen Europe’s defenses and achieve independence from the United States. Will the rest of Europe follow?

Finally, Fareed talks with Dartmouth economics professor Douglas Irwin about how President Trump’s proposed tariffs stack up against history.
