First, Fareed gives his Take on President Trump's negotiating skills in the wake of trade talks with China and his letter canceling the planned meeting with Kim Jong Un.
"As talks fail, deals collapse and negotiations founder, Trump continues to tweet triumphantly about his great success," Fareed says. "It makes one realize the president's true talent. He has the confidence, bravado and skill to market failure as success. He can take a mediocre building, slap some gold paint on it, and then convince you it is a super-luxury condominium. Call it the Art of the Spin."
Next, President Trump sent the letter to Kim on Thursday announcing he was canceling the planned June 12 summit. On Friday, though, he said the summit could still take place. What's behind the uncertainty? And what should happen next? Fareed is joined by Tom Donilon, National Security Adviser under President Obama, to discuss this and more.

Then: Ten years ago this coming week, former British Prime Minister Tony Blair was Fareed's main guest on the first episode of the Global Public Square. Blair is now the founder and executive chairman of The Tony Blair Institute for Global Change, and he sits down again with Fareed to discuss the rise of populism in the West, Brexit, tackling extremism, and more.
