Trump Blunders Again On Iran Deal | News Round-Up

from Mallen Baker: Faultlines · host Mallen Baker

In this news round-up of the week for April 17, 2026: Iran is demonstrating its leverage as the US pushes Israel into a ceasefire with Lebanon, and the Strait of Hormuz is magically open for business. But it's complicated - and not least by Trump's refusal to reciprocate. President Trump continues his other war with the Pope and seems to be losing bigly. As American corporations have been emboldened by Trump's disregard for ethical guardrails, a massive finding in a French court that sends a corporate CEO to jail is a significant line in the sand.
