About this episode

Today, President Trump prepares to host a meeting about what happens next for Gaza city but - aside from Special Envoy Steve Witkoff promising a ‘comprehensive’ plan for what happens to Gaza - isn’t sharing many details.

Adam is joined by James Landale, Diplomatic Correspondent for BBC News and Caitriona Perry, Chief Presenter BBC News in Washington, to unpack three stories from the Trump administration: the meeting about Gaza, increasing import tariffs on India and secret operations in Greenland.

And Adam talks to Nick Thomas-Symonds, the minister for EU relations, who delivered a speech in Westminster setting out how he would improve trade terms between the UK and EU, a day after the Reform leader Nigel Farage vowed to tear up the EU deal.
