About this episode
Donald Trump has declared victory in brokering a Israel-Iran ceasefire. And while it's on precarious ground, what's the "method behind the madness" in the US President's approach?
And the Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has been choosing his words carefully, eager to not be seen as a "central player" in the regional conflict — with the Opposition labelling him "flat-footed." But is that a fair call?
And as European nations agree to increase defence spending to 5 per cent, largely to appease the US President — will the Prime Minister's approach of progressive patriotism come under increasing pressure from Donald Trump?
Patricia Karvelas and Fran Kelly are joined by John Lyons, ABC Americas Editor on The Party Room.
