President Trump is in Japan but this trip is all about China. What is Trump aiming to accomplish during this trip? We check in with our resident missile defense expert Riki Ellison and find out what the US and its allies are doing to curb Chinese military aggression. Then we're off to Iran where the US is putting more pressure on Iran. We'll check in with our voice in the region and find out if the US' sanctions are working. And finally, Theresa May is out.

This week we're headed to Iran to analyze the US' new policies dealing with the Iranian government. Will the tougher sanctions have different results? We check in with our Iranian voice and find out if he thinks Trump's plan will succeed. Then, the US and China were unable to come to a trade agreement last week. The Trump Administration imposed the threatened tariffs on Chinese imports. We'll take an in-depth look at Chinese media and see what they're saying about the possible retaliation by China. Finally, on Change Is Hard, Jill Biden goes high, Trump's public history is "revealed" by corporate media and teenagers are tired of adults doing it for them.

Israel has confirmed the death of the Iranian financial liaison. We head into Israel and speak to our voice to find out what role Iran had in the attacks. Then we'll head into Iran and speak with our voice there and find out if he thinks Iran had a hand in the rocket attack. Finally, on Change Is Hard, we'll look at the American government's response to Venezuela. After two years of being outraged at the idea that Russia meddled in the US elections, few people have highlighted the hypocrisy of the US and its allies meddling in Venezuela.
