Syria’s foreign minister on his country’s future

from Fareed Zakaria GPS · host CNN Podcasts

Today on the show, Fareed sits down with Syrian Foreign Minister Asaad al-Shaibani at the Council on Foreign Relations for a wide-ranging discussion on his transition from rebel to statesman, the future for religious minorities in Syria, and whether peace with Israel seems viable.  Then, Polish Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Radosłow Sikorski speaks with Fareed about what recent Russian incursions in NATO airspace mean, Trump’s recent flip-flop on Ukraine, and how Russia’s war on Ukraine might end. Finally, Ruth Graham, a religion reporter at The New York Times, joins the show to discuss the memorial service of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, a blurring of lines between church and state within the Trump administration, and if America might be experiencing a religious revival.  Guests: Asaad al-Shaibani, Radosłow Sikorski (@sikorskiradek), Ruth Graham (@publicroad) Learn more about your ad choices.
