Tommy and Ben discuss El Salvadorian President Nayib Bukele's White House meeting with Trump and their coordinated assault on due process in America, the terrifying prospect of Trump sending American citizens to foreign prisons, Daniel Noboa's re-election in Ecuador, and disgraced military contractor Erik Prince's attempts to privatize and profit from right-wing autocracy. They also talk about Trump's failures to end the war in Ukraine, the administration's talks with Iran about its nuclear program and the fight to define what a successful Iran deal 2.0 could look like, and the anti-Trump effect on Australia and Canada's upcoming elections. Then, Tommy speaks to Josh Rogin, author of Chaos Under Heaven: Trump, Xi, and the Battle for the Twenty-First Century, about Trump's chaotic China policymaking in the first term and who in the administration is influencing his decision-making as he launches a massive trade war.
