Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Was this the week the US changed sides in the Ukraine war?
Q: What is at stake here in these US midterm elections? Why is the control of Congress so very important?
Bruce Wolpe says Congress determines whether Trump can advance his legislative program and can use its oversight powers to investigate the administration. A shift in control could limit the president's influence and prompt significant political upheaval.
Was this the week the US changed sides in the Ukraine war?
Q: Was this the week that America changed sides in the Ukraine war, and that Donald Trump aligned with Vladimir Putin?
Angela Stent says it is too early to call the week a definitive turning point, but the developments look significant. She links Trump's stance partly to domestic politics and says the Russian diesel deal is unlikely to lower US prices.

Katty Kay on Trump's America
Q: What is your big takeaway from the week?
