I chatted with talkRADIO’s Alastair Stewart on Tuesday about the political outcomes of the G7 summit in Biarritz, France, beginning with French President’s Emmanuel Macron success in out-maneuvering Donald Trump on issues such as climate change and Iran.

But with Trump’s unstable behavior preventing any consensus at the summit, did anyone “win”? We take on that question, as well as the specific crisis of UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson hell-bent on a No Deal Brexit.
