What comes after the end of the Iran nuclear deal? Is Donald Trump an expert diplomat worthy of a Nobel Peace Prize, or a maniac let loose? Why don’t ethical millennials care about the moral cost of their drug habits? And are emojis ruining children’s abilities to communicate? Find out about all this and more in this week’s Spectator Podcast.
On Tuesday, President Trump announced his decision to take the US out of the Iran nuclear deal. The decision has come despite appeals from Angela Merkel, Emmanuel Macron, and even our own Boris Johnson, for the US to stay in the deal. Christopher de Bellaigue writes in this week’s magazine that this was a gross miscalculation, but Dominic Green can understand why Trump did it. Christopher joins the podcast, along with Dr Roham Alvandi, Professor at the LSE and author of Nixon, Kissinger, and the Shah: The United States and Iran in the Cold War.
