Canada versus USA, outrage at Trump envoy’s Putin love-in and the painting that has made Donald RAGE!
Talking Politics USAShow Notes
“It’s disgusting. It’s appalling …. there’s more of an uproar on grocery prices than the killings and the alignment with Russia…”
In this episode of Talking Politics USA, Tom Bradby, Dan Rivers and Laura Schwartz react to the shocking pro-Putin sentiments being issued from Trump’s loyalists and the White House - in stark contrast to the brutality and war crimes Dan unearthed in Ukraine. The trio also discuss: How Mark Carney is using Trump as the key campaign target for his bid to remain prime minister of Canada versus Pierre Poilievre. Why Donald Trump’s tariff wars runs a major risk of alienating one section of core supporters. How Vice President JD Vance and Trump envoy Steve Witkoff have deepened rifts with US allies while delighting the Kremlin. Why Witcoff's warm words about Vladimir Putin have caused such offence amid peace negotiations over Ukraine. The treasures in Greenland which have seen it become a territory of major interest to the Trump administration. And why a painting hanging on the wall of the Colorado State Capitol building in 2019 has suddenly enraged Donald Trump. Do you have a question for the Talking Politics USA team?
