In A Game of Chicken: Daadler on US-Iran Talks
Ivo Daadler, Harvard University Belfer Center Senior Fellow & former US Ambassador to NATO under the Obama Administration, states that progress between US & Iran doesn’t seem likely in the near future because both sides are asking each other to “take a knee and give in.” He also suggest President Trump is underestimating the leverage Iran has, shares why he believes Steve Witkoff & Jared Kushner are not the right people to have nuclear negotiation talks with Iran, and the latest on Russia & Ukraine. Ivo Daalder speaks with Kailey Leinz and Joe Mathieu on the late edition of Bloomberg’s “Balance of Power.”
