Description
In the final episode, Trump sets his sights on Asia. We hear the extraordinary inside story of how threats of nuclear war against North Korea give way to bromance with Kim Jong-un, one of the world’s most brutal dictators. With China, the president determines to take a tough new approach, launching the biggest trade war in economic history even as he tries to secure ‘the deal of the century’. Trump’s unorthodox style is on full display as he switches between maximum pressure and maximum flattery, bringing all his New York real estate experience to his diplomacy. With first-hand accounts from key players, the episode takes us inside crucial meetings and summits where the US president shocks his closest advisers by forging new relationships with authoritarian leaders.
