US Retired General: At the Meeting With Trump, Putin Will Have the Advantage

July 09, 2018

On 16 July in Helsinki, President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin will meet his American colleague Donald Trump.

Ryan talked to "Eurasia Expert" about the significance of the meeting between the American and Russian leaders for relations between the two countries, the future of NATO, and explained how American space forces will differ from Russian or Chinese space forces.

Dr. Gary Samore, Ambassadors Danny Russel and Chris Hill, and Dr. John Park offer their insights on U.S.-North Korean relations.
