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

Hello everyone, this is the latest episode of the X Files with me, Christiana Manpoor in London. voice-verified

And we have two questions for you, uh, because they're really worth uh you know a deep dive into. voice-verified

Is Trump making America weaker, as some pundits are saying, by all these wars, by all the things that are going on in the Pentagon? voice-verified

And later on we're gonna talk about Israel and ask whether it is running out of allies. voice-verified

So two important issues when it comes to the Middle East and the superpower of the United States of America. voice-verified

So Jamie. voice-verified

Is Trump making America weep weaker since the war in February? voice-verified

Let's just not forget that he said it would last only a little while, maybe four to six weeks. voice-verified

And it's gone on, I don't know, count count the months. voice-verified

Every every week I have to count on my fingers. voice-verified

But what is it now? voice-verified

Seven months uh at least uh since the end of uh February. voice-verified

What do you see in terms of where we all are as to whether this is solidifying voice-verified

buying America's authority or not. voice-verified

Yes, now it must be said that the phase that Trump and the Americans are in right now is the maintenance and the escalation of their blockade on Iran's ports, which is really having a massive impact on Iran's economy and may or may not end up having an impact on domestic turmoil. voice-verified

inside the country and may or may not end up you know threatening the uh the the the regime again as it did economic pain did back in uh you know December, January with those huge, huge protests that were brutally cracked down. voice-verified

Now also, Jamie, I've been told 'cause there's a lot of different reporting. voice-verified

Uh the latest very interesting uh New York Times report by Farnals Fassi, who's very well plugged in, is suggesting that there is a complete disconnect between the power system there or the constituent parts are not together on this. voice-verified

The president, the foreign minister who want to voice-verified

keep the negotiation possible and not be overwhelmed by the United States either militar militarily or indeed economically, versus the very hardliners who've consolidated power in the absence of any supreme leader who can actually stamp authority, they're claiming his mantle and are saying, you know, with his authority, we have now entered the escalation phase. voice-verified
