Today marks one year since President Trump began his second term. In just one year, we've seen seismic shifts in America's foreign policy, such as his relentless bid for Greenland. Plus, he's now threatening an additional 200% tariffs on French wine if Macron refuses to join his Gaza Board of Peace. Democratic Senator Chris Coons wants to de-escalate tensions and has just finished a bipartisan congressional visit to Denmark. He joins the show from Davos.

Nobel Peace Prize Laureate Shirin Ebadi

After days of urging the people of Iran to continue to protest, President Trump suddenly appeared to back down last night — noting to reporters that Iranian sources told him that the killing of protesters was over and planned executions will not go ahead. But even as the crackdown on protesters has proven deadly, with thousands reported killed, some are still staunch defenders of the regime. Christiane speaks to one of those voices — Mohammad Marandi is a Professor at the University of Tehran and joins the show from Tehran, Iran. 

Also on today's show: Nazenin Ansari, Journalist /Managing Editor of Kayhan London; Phil Gunson, Andes Project Senior Analyst, International Crisis Group; NYT columnist and author Andrew Ross Sorkin

Iran's Deadly Crackdown on Protests

What began in Iran as demonstrations against the dire state of the economy and the cost of living have escalated into a nationwide challenge to the Islamic Republic itself. Now, security forces are aggressively moving on the protesters, killing hundreds (according to a US-based rights group). Meanwhile, President Trump is mulling over military intervention. Abbas Milani, director of Iranian studies at Stanford and author of "The Shah," was held political prisoner by the former Shah's regime and eventually left Iran in 1986. He joins the show.

Iranian Protests Spur Government Backlash

We take a deep dive into how Trump’s America has shaken up the world order, just days into the new year. Independent Senator Bernie Sanders responds to the tragic shooting of a U.S. citizen by an I.C.E operative. They also discuss President Trump’s claim that the U.S. will control Venezuela and its oil reserves for years. Then, Christiane speaks to former Colombian President Juan Manuel Santos about the threat facing his country as the U.S. leans into Latin America. Correspondent David Culver then takes us to the Colombian border, to show how the nation is beefing up its border security. Plus, a cultural reprieve with actor Ethan Hawke, as he tells Christiane about portraying Broadway legend Lorenz Hart in his new film “Blue Moon”. From the archives, a report on the historical failure of U.S. nation building in Iraq, and the students who told Christiane about the high price their country paid for international intervention. And finally, we take a look back at Christiane’s conversation with Nicolas Maduro back in 2014 and the confident composure that ultimately contributed to his downfall.
