Many thanks to Sumi Somaskanda for having me on BBC News (World) to talk about Chinese President Xi Jinping’s ongoing trip to Europe & US-Europe-China ties.

BLUF: Neither Xi nor Paris/Brussels will make much progress on their top goals, including Xi’s goal to drive wedge btwn US & EU.

Vovan, the central figure in our BBC film 'Ukraine: Enemy in the Woods' has been killed alongside 5 comrades in a Russian tank attack. A kind, genuine soul who cared deeply for his men. Rarely seen without a smile. He leaves behind a wife & two sons. Rest in peace Vovan.

For years, Iran has attempted to hide behind proxy terror groups like Hezbollah and Hamas.

But its direct attack on Israel over the weekend was unprecedented.

Today, I told Sumi Somaskanda on BBC News (World) that this was a malicious act, and Israel has the right to defend itself.

Chairman US Rep. Mike Turner to Sumi Somaskanda on BBC News (World):

“All of the conflict in the area really is coming from Iran. Iran has both funded Hezbollah, Hamas, and the Houthis in Yemen who have been attacking commercial traffic lanes, and they’ve been providing them training.”
