"Balance of Power: Late Edition" focuses on the intersection of politics and global business. On today’s show, Ambassador James Jeffrey, Distinguished Fellow at the Washington Institute for Near East Policy and former US Ambassador to Iraq and Turkey, discusses ongoing negotiations between the US and Iran, focusing on President Trump’s repeated ultimatums and threats of escalation. Robert McWhirter, founder of the Law Office of Robert McWhirter, says acting attorney general Todd Blanche’s written pledge to terminate the administration’s $1.8 billion anti-weaponization fund is legally unenforceable, arguing that “a pinky swear has far more force.”
