Foreign policy insider David Rothkopf joins Joanna Coles for a blistering deep-dive into Donald Trump’s high-stakes summit with Vladimir Putin in Alaska—and the dangerous implications for Ukraine, Europe, and global security. From Trump’s flattery-fueled diplomacy and one-on-one meetings with no note takers, to Putin’s KGB-honed manipulation tactics, Rothkopf exposes a portrait of ego, opportunism, and geopolitical risk. With insider accounts, sharp analysis, and startling parallels to past encounters, this episode unpacks how one man’s insecurities and ambitions could shape the fate of nations.
