YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

David Ignatius, foreign affairs columnist for The Washington Post, joined moderator Jeffrey Goldberg to discuss the global consequences of America’s unpredictability, including the current state of negotiations with Iran.

They compared President Donald Trump's current approach to Iran with the approach employed by President Barack Obama in the mid-2010s, when the U.S. and Iran enacted the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, commonly known as the Iran nuclear deal.
