Kim Darroch: ‘Trump was conned by Netanyahu’ over Iran

Donald Trump’s midterm defeat has thrown fresh uncertainty over the future of his presidency – and his foreign policy.

On today’s Coffee House Shots, Tim Shipman speaks to Lord Kim Darroch, former British ambassador to Washington, about what happens next. With JD Vance already positioning himself for 2028, could the MAGA movement be starting to fracture? And how much damage has Trump’s approach to Iran done to his standing at home?

They also discuss whether Andy Burnham can turn the crisis into an opportunity for Britain, who might succeed Trump in the White House, and why a deal to end the war in Ukraine still looks a long way off.
