Middle East war expands; What is Trump's endgame?; Rising oil prices

from Global National with Dawna Friesen · host Global News

The U.S. and Israel's airstrikes on Iran have triggered a war that's quickly spreading through the Middle East. Redmond Shannon looks at how several other countries have been drawn in, as Iran goes after its neighbours. Jackson Proskow looks at the scrutiny on U.S. President Donald Trump's potential endgame. Heidi Petracek speaks with some of the Canadians stranded in the Middle East who are trying to get home safely. And Heather Yourex-West looks at how the war is driving up oil prices. Also, Prime Minister Mark Carney did not take questions from journalists during the India portion of his Indo-Pacific trade mission. David Akin explains what to make of Carney's silence on alleged interference from the Indian government, and the lack of follow-up on his initial statement about the U.S. airstrikes on Iran. Plus, Eric Sorensen explains why Canada could be the safest bet for soccer fans when the World Cup kicks off this summer. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
