On GPS at 10 a.m. and 1 p.m. ET on CNN:
First, Fareed gives his take on how America has abused its advantages in ways that will sacrifice US influence in the long run.
"The administration is acting to get some short-term gains in limited transactions with other countries, but in doing so through the misuse of its power, it is putting at risk the entire structure of the international system in which American power is so deeply embedded," Fareed says, noting as cases in point US exploitation, through sanctions, of the dollar's supremacy and President Trump's thin justifications for tariffs.
"It's a bad trade—and one which all Americans will pay the price for in decades to come," Fareed says.
Next, amid protests over a proposed (and now stalled) Chinese extradition law in Hong Kong, we'll hear from singer, actress, and protest organizer Denise Ho about the recent demonstrations, creeping Chinese influence, and the public mood.
After that, we'll hear what House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has to say about Iran, impeachment, and how a 2020 Democratic candidate should run against Trump. GPS will air Fareed's interview with the speaker, which took place Thursday at an event hosted by the Council on Foreign Relations.
Finally, what drives North Korean leader Kim Jong Un? What was his upbringing like, and how should we see him as a geopolitical operator? Washington Post Beijing Bureau Chief Anna Fifield, author of the new book The Great Successor: The Divinely Perfect Destiny of Brilliant Comrade Kim Jong Un, will discuss those topics and how Kim is approaching negotiations with Trump. | |
