Fareed asks New York Times columnist Tom Friedman about America’s struggles with not only Russia, but China and Saudi Arabia, too. Also, the most important meeting in China in decades began this weekend and Fareed talks to Kevin Rudd, former Australian Prime Minister, about what the future will look like for China, Taiwan and the world. Then, CNN Global Economic Analyst Rana Foroohar sits down with Fareed to discuss if another global recession is coming. Plus, “stop the steal” heads south of the border as Brazil’s presidential candidate Jair Bolsonaro cries foul about the validity of the vote there. Moisés Naím, a distinguished fellow at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, tells Fareed what’s going on.
