Trump agrees to last-minute ceasefire, delays threat to destroy Iran

from Power & Politics

U.S. President Donald Trump stuck to his threat to end Iran's 'whole civilization' and bomb bridges and power plants until less than two hours before his Tuesday deadline, when he suddenly posted that there would be a 'a double-sided ceasefire' for two weeks. Experience the night and the news as it unfolded live on Power & Politics, beginning with former Canadian UN ambassador Bob Rae, who says Trump's threat was 'genocidal,' the administration is corrupt and the U.S. is behaving immorally and illegally. Plus, Canada's last head of mission in Saudi Arabia, Dennis Horak, brings instant analysis of Trump's announcement.
