Fighting without a Shield: Ukraine's Plea for Defenses Against Russia

Once again, confusion reigns over the Strait of Hormuz. President Donald Trump promised again this week that the vital shipping lane will open "very soon". The problem is that the US is not negotiating directly with Iran. Tehran is speaking to Oman, and says a deal on the Strait is close, but that agreement would not automatically reopen the Strait. They first want the US to meet certain guarantees. For more on this, Correspondent Jeremy Diamond joins the show from Tel Aviv. 

Also on today's show: Linda Robinson, Sr. Fellow for Women and Foreign Policy, Council on Foreign Relations; Jia Tolentino, Staff Writer, The New Yorker; Idrees Kahloon, Staff Writer, The Atlantic

With Their TPS Status Revoked, What Do US Haitians Do Now?

Two high-stakes meetings are scheduled at the White House today, as President Trump meets with Ukraine's President Zelensky and Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu, both in town for Senator Lindsey Graham's funeral. For the Israeli leader, the Washington reception today will be very different to the last. Rahm Emanuel, formerly a US ambassador to Japan, a White House chief of staff, and a congressman, has been a longtime supporter of Israel. He himself volunteered to serve in the IDF. But he now says the US should not provide its long-time ally with unconditional military aid, arguing they should be treated like any other country. Emanuel joins the program from Chicago.

As the Iran war escalates, the world's most vital chokepoints are coming under increasing threat. Iran's disruption of shipping through the Strait of Hormuz has already rattled global energy markets. Now, the Houthis could obstruct things further, launching a blockade on Saudi shipping in the Red Sea, and threatening to close the Bab al-Mandeb Strait. The two narrow waterways carry not only oil and gas, but also vast quantities of food and humanitarian supplies. Carl Skau, the acting Executive Director of the World Food Programme, has travelled to many of the world's worst humanitarian hot spots, witnessing both the scale of the suffering and the difficulties of delivering aid. He joins from New York.
