This week Richard and Yalda interview Matt Pottinger, former deputy national security adviser to Donald Trump and a foremost US expert on foreign policy.

With insider insight into the president’s decision-making process, Matt explains his perspective on the underlying motivation for Trump’s approach to foreign affairs.

He anticipates that Europe and America will eventually collaborate and confront Putin, but cautions that the genuine threat resides in the Pacific, where a potential conflict with China—a superpower he states is “already prepared for war”—looms.
