On Fareed Zakaria GPS Today

View this email in your browser Insights, analysis and must reads from CNN's Fareed Zakaria and the Global Public Square team, compiled by Global Briefing editor Jason Miks. September 30, 2018 On Today's Show On GPS at 10 a.m. and 1 p.m. ET on CNN: First, Fareed gives his Take on President Trump's speech to the UN General Assembly and Trump's "America First" worldview. "Trump might not recognize that as he withdraws America from these global arenas, the rest of the world is moving on without Washington. Wittingly or not, Donald Trump seems to be hastening the arrival of a post-American world," Fareed says. Next: Speaking at the United Nations this week, President Trump warned that "Iran's leaders sow chaos, death and destruction. They do not respect their neighbors or borders or the sovereign rights of nations." Joining Fareed to discuss President Trump's comments and US policy toward Iran will be Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif.   Also on the show: Earlier this week, at the Bloomberg Global Business Forum, Fareed had the chance to talk to eight world leaders and three business leaders. GPS shares some of the highlights, including Fareed's conversations with outgoing Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto, Swiss President Alain Berset, New Zealand's prime minister, Jacinda Ardern, and Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad.   Plus: Fareed is also joined by Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko. What lessons can the world learn from his government's fight against Russian election meddling? What might Russia try to do in next year's presidential election? And what can his government do to prevent it? Fareed discusses this and more.   Take This Week's GPS Challenge Which country said it foiled a major terrorist plot?
