David Ignatius is the internationally admired foreign affairs columnist and Associate Editor for the Washington Post. He is also a popular novelist writing 12 successful books about the world he covers as a reporter and columnist. Ignatius’s strength as a journalist and novelist is his extraordinary knowledge and access to primary players in espionage and statecraft around the world, men and women who are on the front lines of the global struggle among nations to survive and dominate in peace and war. This conversation comes at a moment when the world’s eyes are focused on Washington and the future of negotiations or a wider war between Israel and Iran that will include the US as a participant against Iran. We will talk of many things including President Trump’s two-week period for decisions, the war so far and ongoing, the future of negotiations, the divisions in the United States and the MAGA Movement, President Obama and President Trump, Iran’s future and the impact on Middle East as well as issues reflected in Ignatius columns and interviews.
