Today on the show, Fareed speaks with former German Minister of Economic Affairs Peter Altmaier about the impact of President Trump’s tariffs in Europe and around the world.

Next, Ehud Barak, former Israeli prime minister, joins the show to discuss Israel’s renewed war in Gaza where Prime Minister Netanyahu is dividing up and seizing more territory. Barak says this is a death sentence for most of the hostages who are still alive.

Then, after France’s far-right leader Marine Le Pen was found guilty of embezzlement and banned from running in the 2027 presidential election, Fareed speaks with The Economist’s Sophie Pedder about this shake-up in French politics.

Finally, The Atlantic’s Yoni Appelbaum joins to discuss his new book “Stuck” in which he writes about the crisis of geographic mobility in America and its impact on politics and economic opportunity in the country.

GUESTS: Peter Altmaier (@peteraltmaier), Ehud Barak (@barak_ehud), Sophie Pedder (@PedderSophie), Yoni Appelbaum (@YAppelbaum)
