About this listen

In this episode of Alternate Shots, John Ellis and Richard Haass begin in Iran, where the Trump administration has assembled more military might than strategy. From there, they unpack the recent Supreme Court decision on tariffs, making clear it will not lead to any clarity for the country’s trading partners. The conversation then moves south, where cartel violence potentially threatens both the United States and Mexico. Closer to home, they examine the awkward but unavoidable topic of diminishing presidential capacity. And last but not least, they somehow manage to end on a high note thanks to Olympic hockey.

Hosted by John Ellis and Richard Haass
