Season 2025 Episode 7177 | 17m 03s

A New York Times opinion piece argues that Trump is taking a page out of China's foreign policy playbook in his pursuit of a minerals deal with Ukraine. The article’s author, Gracelin Baskaran, is director of the Critical Minerals Security Program at CSIS. Baskaran says we’re entering "a new era of minerals diplomacy."
