The Iran War Threatens to Split Trump’s Base

from WSJ What’s News · host The Wall Street Journal

P.M. Edition for Mar. 19. Earlier this week, Joe Kent resigned as the White House's chief counterterrorism officer because he opposes the Iran war. WSJ White House correspondent Natalie Andrews discusses how that’s exposing a fault line within President Trump’s base. Plus, new proposals introduced today by the Federal Reserve would let America’s biggest banks hold billions of dollars less in capital on their books, a win for the banks. And we hear from Journal tech reporter Rolfe Winkler about how Apple, which is behind in AI, still earned hundreds of millions of dollars in revenue last year from it. Alex Ossola hosts.
