Listen "UK Defense Minister on Ukraine After NATO Summit"
Episode Synopsis
In this week's episode, hosts Kate McCann and Sir Richard Dearlove, former head of Britain's MI6, wrap up their on-the-ground reporting at the NATO summit in The Hague, Netherlands. Kate and Richard discuss President Donald Trump's closing press conference, his statements about an Israeli assessment that the U.S. strikes on Iranian nuclear sites were successful, and the intelligence methods that could support this. Later in the episode, Kate interviews UK Defence Secretary John Healey about his perspective on the summit and President Trump's significant role in the agenda. Plus, Sir Richard and Kate share their favorite moments over the last two days, including NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte's viral moment referring to Donald Trump as "Daddy,” and how a renewed sentiment among European nations for greater defense spending shifted the American president’s attitude towards the alliance.
