On GPS at 10 a.m. and 1 p.m. ET on CNN:
First, Fareed gives his Take on the Trump administration following the President's announcement Friday on the Iran nuclear agreement.
"The United States is now blasting an international agreement it is a sworn party to, without exiting the agreement. It is taking potshots at an international framework and yet staying within it -- sort of. The result is a foreign policy that is not just unpredictable, but incoherent," Fareed says.
"Trump has now signaled to countries like North Korea, never make a deal with America, because even if we sign, we might still upend the whole arrangement anyway. In his speech on Iran, Trump made the bizarre claim that other countries think in 100-year intervals. Even if this were true, which it isn't, Trump's actions suggest that his administration cannot even stay the course for a few years, let alone a hundred. Donald Trump's national security team, the so-called grown-ups, have signed on to this contradictory policy toward Iran -- which is a sad sign, perhaps, that they value their jobs more than their reputations."
Then, Fareed speaks with Hillary Clinton about North Korea, Iran, Vladimir Putin and last year's election.
"Now, I think he was successful in what he did in our election because the more we learn about it, the more we understand that highly-sophisticated intelligence analysts tried to sow divisiveness within our country," Clinton says when asked about Russia's role in last year's presidential election. "He wants an America that is divided from within, which is really the only way that anybody will ever take us down -- if we turn on each other."

And on the Obama administration's Iran policy: "I got the sanctions through the Security Council as secretary of state. I know that Iran plays a game of aggressiveness and undermining of our interests and the interests in the region -- there's no argument about that. But my point has been and remains, I would much rather deal with Iran's other bad behavior while not worrying at this moment about their nuclear program getting up and going again."
