Q&A: US-Iran stalemate, can Trump be forced out & journalists under fire

From Christiane Amanpour Presents: The Ex Files Global

In this week’s Q&A, Christiane and Jamie are asked how much chaos President Trump could yet cause for the US, what it would take for him to be removed from office and why a country that so often intervenes abroad struggles to keep its own leaders in check.

On the war in the Middle East, they unpack the rigid stalemate between the US and Iran, suggesting what a resolution might realistically look like. They also look at the dangers facing journalists in Gaza and Lebanon and whether the countless reporter casualties could prompt a shift in the media - will the killing of Lebanese journalist Amal Khalil could become a watershed moment? Finally, they’re asked whether authoritarian leaders like Putin may already be fostering relationships with JD Vance in anticipation of a post-Trump world.
