In this jam-packed episode of Pardon the Politics, Jeezy and Manny break down Trump’s whirlwind Middle East tour, from his $600B arms deal with Saudi Arabia to a 1.4 trillion dollar AI partnership with the UAE. Was this diplomacy or just another reality show? The hosts tackle everything from the Qatar Boeing jet scandal to the controversial lifting of sanctions on Syria and the implications for Iran and Israel. Why did Trump snub Israel? And what does it mean that he’s rekindling nuclear talks with Iran?
Meanwhile, back in the States, Walmart and Apple push back on Trump’s trade “truce” with China, hinting that price hikes may still be coming for everyday Americans. Is this economic relief or a temporary PR stunt?
With hilarious commentary, deep dives, and hot takes, this episode is a must-listen for anyone trying to make sense of global politics in 2025. Grab a snack (maybe not from Walmart) and tune in!
