Anthony Zurcher and his guests in the ³ÉÈËÂÛ̳’s Washington DC studio consider this week’s latest tweets from President Trump – including the firing of secretary of state Rex Tillerson and rumours of more staff changes at the White House. What does it mean for US foreign policy – the proposed summit with North Korea – as well as relations with Russia, in the wake of the Salisbury poisonings. Also - the upset result in the Pennsylvania election saw a weak performance by the Republican candidate who President Trump had supported. What does it mean for the mid-term elections later this year?
Trumped is a regular World Service series which uses the President’s own words, in his tweets, as a starting point for discussion about the Presidency.
