What would a Democratic victory in Congress mean for Ukraine? A Democratic-controlled Congress could have the leverage to pressure Donald Trump into softening his position on aid to Kyiv and potentially support the resumption of direct U.S. assistance to Ukraine. And also: What could happen next in Iran? Will the midterm elections lead to changes and shake-ups inside the Trump administration? Could Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth be among those forced out? Bolton also addresses the increasingly controversial question of U.S. involvement in the domestic politics of allied countries. If reports that the Trump administration sought to pressure Polish Defense Minister Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz to leave the governing coalition are true, what would that mean for the relationship between Washington and its allies and is such interference acceptable? The conversation also touches on the future of U.S. troops in Poland, the idea of “Fort Trump,” and the broader challenges facing the transatlantic Alliance.
