Episode Has Trump just had his worst week yet?
From a series of embarrassing court defeats at home, to China asserting itself more strongly than ever as a global superpower, Donald Trump has had a bad week. But has it been the worst week so far of Oval Office 2.0? Christiane and Jamie discuss just how damaging Trump's legal setbacks on tariffs, deportations and his use of the National Guard could be - and whether the US is now playing second fiddle to China on the world stage.
Christiane also gives her reaction to Trump and Special Envoy Steve Witkoff attending the final of the US Open over the weekend, and Jamie explains why America could yet be forced to pay back tens, or even hundreds, of billions of dollars in tariffs.
Later, Christiane introduces a brand-new weekly feature to the podcast: stay tuned for her and Jamie's top recommendations for what to read, watch, and listen to in the week ahead.
