From Northern Ireland to Bosnia, and from Camp David to Wye River, Christiane and Jamie have covered countless conflicts and helped to negotiate many peace deals. But how were these wars really ended? And what can today's world leaders learn from the successes of the past? In this episode, Christiane and Jamie look at whether Trump and his Special Envoy Steve Witkoff really understand what it takes to bring peace to the world's conflicts.
After all, Trump promised he would end the war in Ukraine within 24 hours on his re-election campaign - and he also pledged to restore peace to the Middle East. More than six months into his second term in the Oval Office, the President has failed to deliver on those promises.
Drawing on decades of diplomatic experience, Christiane and Jamie explain how seemingly small details - like face-to-face meetings, shared meals, and even the shape of a negotiating table - can make or break high-stakes talks.
Christiane and Jamie also discuss tariffs: is there any economic logic to them, or does Trump simply use them to settle personal scores with world leaders he's clashed with?
