Christiane Amanpour Presents: The Ex Files · Is Trump making America weaker? · 15 Sep 2026 podcast

I don't know, Jamie, before we go into making America stronger or weaker. voice-verified

I know these two are not particularly friendly nations, as we know, but they do need to actually sit down and discuss. voice-verified

I mean the idea that the Pakistani military chief is the negotiator has not produced a huge amount of uh of of good results right now. voice-verified

Mm. voice-verified

And as I say and I I'm you know, you gotta keep saying it, the Iranian government is also facing a a close to untenable economic meltdown. voice-verified

Now, regarding Trump and the White House and the advisors, let's just take uh one of the latest pieces of news that came out. voice-verified

It turns out that people in his own administration, whether it's intelligence, whether it's other Secretary of State Vice President, have warned him, Trump, that this could actually go on to the end of his term. voice-verified

Such are the issues and such is the entrenchment of the Iranians to actually win. voice-verified

win what they want, which is not necessarily money, I'm told, but it is control of the Strait of Homoors and the ability to I don't know what you know, what control apart from money, but nonetheless, uh that is what I'm what I'm told. voice-verified

And it's not the first time, Jamie, that uh the Iranians have voice-verified

Held America hostage literally, remember in 7980 with the actual hostages in Tehran, until the end of an administration. voice-verified

In that case, it was the end of the Carter administration. voice-verified

They made the Democrats pay the Iranians, and on the uh day of Ronald Reagan, the Republicans' uh uh inauguration, the Iranians released all the hostages who they'd been holding for 444 days. voice-verified

So voice-verified

What do you think? voice-verified

I mean could this kind of pain? voice-verified

be as painful as that was all those years ago? voice-verified

So let's uh let's talk about the big issue 'cause we started by asking um voice-verified

Is this whole thing, is Trump, is Hegseth in the Pentagon, uh, making America weaker? voice-verified

It is still the superpower, it is still the most capable military in the world, uh, although there are these uh, you know, ammunition shortages, which is quite dangerous. voice-verified
