On GPS at 10 a.m. and 1 p.m. ET on CNN:
First, Fareed gives his take on the central flaw in President Trump's Iran strategy: a failure to know one's enemy, contradicting the advice famously offered by Chinese strategist Sun Tzu.
"In The Art of War, he goes on to say, 'the flawed general is incapable of fathoming the enemy … easily angered, hasty to act, and arrogant.' In one line, that perfectly describes the Trump strategy," Fareed says, now that Trump's withdrawal from the 2015 nuclear deal, and his application of "maximum pressure" through sanctions, has provoked Iran to retaliate.
Next, Fareed talks with a panel of New America Foundation CEO Anne-Marie Slaughter, New Yorker writer Robin Wright, and Council on Foreign Relations distinguished fellow and former US envoy for Israeli-Palestinian negotiations Martin Indyk about tensions between Iran and Saudi Arabia, Israel's elections, and the recent reports of a whistleblower complaint regarding a call between Trump and a foreign leader.
Fareed also talks with United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres, ahead of Monday's UN Climate Action Summit, about whether the world can act urgently against global warming. Finally, author Malcolm Gladwell talks with Fareed about his new book, Talking to Strangers: What We Should Know About the People We Don't Know, an exploration of trust, misperception, and how people can be duped. | |
