A man in the foreground looks directly at the camera with a pained, squinting expression. Behind him, a politician is mid-speech at a podium flanked by American flags. Huge white text at the bottom declares the situation 'ENTIRELY UNNECESSARY'.

The intro — as said out loud
This is classic Trump. I've got a ceasefire. I'm going to send J.D. Vance ceasefire. I'm going to send J.D. Vance and it's all going to be done. Welcome to The Rest Politics with me, Alistair Campbell. And with me, Rory Stewart. We're going to be focusing on what's happening with the blockade... And then we're going to get on to Ukraine and in particular your recent interview with President Zelensky. And the issues we're going to be looking at are, number one, what on earth is going on in Trump's head... Secondly, what does this mean for the global economy?... And thirdly, I'd like to get into this question of is the US literally becoming a rogue state now?
