On today’s show, Donald Trump vowed to do “whatever it takes” and indicated his readiness to allow the conflict with Iran to go on longer than he had planned. Marco Rubio said the US would step up its attacks.
The escalation in the conflict pushed Asian stocks lower along with futures. South Korea had its worst selloff since 2024.
Scott Bessent and China’s Vice Premier He Lifeng are expected to meet in Paris in mid-March to discuss potential deals ahead of a planned Trump-Xi summit.
Today’s guests: Chatham House Director of the International Security Programme Marion Messmer & KPMG UK Vice Chair & Chief Economist Yael Selfin
