Americast – Americans… at 5 Live! Why did Trump leave the TV interview with Meet The Press?

Available for over a year.

When the US President left, he was asked in Wisconsin – what happened and why did the clip go viral? In this episode, Anthony, Mariana and Sumi answer your questions with Matt Chorley on 5 Live. We will also see if the president has failed to control the Iran war. Last week, Trump joined with Democrats to pass a measure in Congress to prevent further military action, with some Republicans fighting back against the war. Meanwhile, amid renewed tit-for-tat attacks from Iran and Israel, Donald Trump is signaling that he is close to a deal to end the conflict. Also, why is Vice President JD Vance posting about Henry Nowak on social media and what is the impact? And, is one of America’s most popular news programs — 60 Minutes — being killed off by its new editor, Barry Weiss? The lawsuit comes after longtime anchor Scott Pelley was fired. We ask what’s going on with the layoffs at CBS.
