After America

The Trump-Putin bromance continues at Alaska meeting


Listen Later

US President Donald Trump rolled out the red carpet for Russian President Vladimir Putin this week. But did he get played again? 

On this episode of After America, Dr Emma Shortis joins Angus Blackman to discuss the fallout from Trump’s meeting with Putin, the Australian government’s commitment to recognising Palestinian statehood, and the not-super-encouraging prospects for American democracy as Trump sics the National Guard on Washington, D.C. 

This episode was recorded on Monday 18 August.
