## Resource

H.R. McMaster served as Donald Trump’s National Security Adviser and saw firsthand how he makes decisions about war, peace and American power. As his former boss is tested by crises from Iran to Ukraine, China, NATO and Venezuela, he explains how the president really thinks. Does Trump have a grand strategy, or is he driven by instincts, deals and the search for a quick win? And will fragile US-Iran peace deal force a lasting peace or end in disaster?   Guest: LTG HR McMaster, former US National Security Advisor (2017-2018) Hosts: General Sir Patrick Sanders and Tom Newton Dunn Producer: Julia Webster Executive producer : Priyanka Deladia  Image: Dana Chan and Getty Clips: PBS, WPLG, Reuters, Getty What are your thoughts on the US/Iran deal?
