Two experts on international security and foreign policy join host Mike Collins to discuss the issues relating to the Iran Nuclear Deal, Saudi Arabia, the ongoing crisis in Syria and more.

The incoming Trump Administration will have many challenges, domestic and abroad, but the problems in the Middle East over the last several years have proved to be among the most complex they’ll face.

Many foreign policy and national security challenges will face the new administration, including the fight against ISIS, the Israeli-Palestinian issue, ongoing conflict in Syria, and much more.

How will the Trump Administration handle the challenges that exist in the Middle East? Is there opportunity for success in the Middle East, and what would that look like?
