## Resource

Christiane and Jamie answer your questions on the global fallout from the conflict in the Middle East - is anyone paying attention to the millions in sub-Saharan Africa facing displacement as a direct consequence of the Iran War? And will China or major European nations ever apply enough pressure on Trump to end it once and for all? Plus, with millions of Americans having voted for Trump, will the attitudes that put him in power will simply produce more candidates like him? Christiane and Jamie also assess the emerging competition between JD Vance and Marco Rubio for the next Republican Presidential nomination.
