Following Trump’s Middle East trip - which the White House is touting as an unbridled success - Sky News’ Martha Kelner sits down with Barbara Leaf, who was US ambassador to the United Arab Emirates during Trump’s first term and assistant secretary of state for Near Eastern affairs in the Biden administration. She was also in the team that formed the first formal US presence in Syria after more than a decade. On this episode, Martha and Barbara discuss the significance of Trump’s Middle East visit, including his meeting with the Syrian president Ahmed al-Sharaa, drawing from Barbara's own meeting with the former jihadist. Plus, former President Joe Biden has been diagnosed with an aggressive form of prostate cancer. Martha shares Trump's response to the news.
