Q&A: Caribbean chaos, Hegseth’s future and time to close US bases in Europe?

Christiane Amanpour Presents: The Ex Files

About

In this week’s Q&A, Christiane and Jamie are asked whether the “Five Eyes” intelligence alliance between the US, UK, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand could be disbanded over questions of the legality of Trump's bombing of alleged drug-carrying vessels in the Caribbean sea.

They’re also asked, given the apparent lack of support for Europe against continued Russian aggression, whether it could be time for all US-European bases to be closed.
