In this week’s Q&A, Christiane and Jamie are asked how much disruption President Trump could yet cause the US, what it would take for him to be removed from office and why a country that so often intervenes abroad struggles to check its own leaders. On the war in the Middle East, they unpack the rigid stalemate between the US and Iran, suggesting what a resolution might realistically look like. They also look at the dangers facing journalists in Gaza and Lebanon and whether the countless reporter casualties could prompt a shift in the media - will the killing of Lebanese journalist Amal Khalil could become a watershed moment? Finally, they’re asked whether authoritarian leaders like Putin may already be fostering relationships with JD Vance in anticipation of a post-Trump world.Christiane Amanpour Presents: The Ex Files is a Global production, available every Tuesday and Thursday on Global Player, YouTube or wherever you get your shows.
