Amanpour

President Trump's long-awaited meeting with China's Xi Jinping has resulted in some success or both sides, with agreements on rare earth minerals and tariffs. But while these deals may be a welcome sign of diplomatic engagement, Trump's unexpected order to start nuclear weapons testing again, for the first time in 30 years, grabbed the bigger headlines. Matt Pottinger was Trump's Deputy National Security Adviser during his first term, and he joins the program from Utah.

Trump Orders Nuclear Weapons Tests

Gaza has seen its deadliest day since the ceasefire began just over two weeks ago. The Israeli strikes come after Israel accused Hamas of an attack that killed an IDF soldier and allegedly staging the discovery of a deceased hostage. But Hamas says it has "no connection" to the attack and remains committed to the deal. To discuss, former Israeli diplomat Alon Pinkas joins Christiane from Tel Aviv. 

Also on today's show: Mustafa Barghouti, President, Palestinian National Initiative; journalist/historian Garrett Graff; author Michael McFaul, former US Ambassador to Russia

Also at stake is Japan's security in the face of rising threats from China, who Trump is expected to meet with on Thursday in South Korea. David Sanger is the National Security Correspondent for The New York Times and he joins the show from Washington, DC.

Gender Equality and Historic Movements

According to the World Economic Forum, we're still 123 years away from full equality for women. So it's critical to remember the moments history was made. On this day, 50 years ago, 90 percent of the women in Iceland went on strike. Their "women's day off" changed the country forever. It's now the subject of a new documentary called "The Day Iceland Stood Still." To mark this day, Christiane spoke to the film's director Pamela Hogan, and the President of Iceland, Halla Tómasdóttir. 

Also on today's show: author Gayle Young ("Update: Reporting from an Ancient Land"); author Cory Doctorow ("Enshittification")

A Historic Religious Reconciliation

President Trump continues to threaten Venezuela, sending B-52 bombers to its coast, deploying more warships to the Caribbean sea and surging troops in the region. As the administration continues to bomb boats it says are carrying drugs, a group of independent UN experts now calls them "extrajudicial executions." Colombia's president says it's "murder." Trump is retaliating by ending aid to the country and Bogota has recalled its Ambassador to the US in response. For more on this, we welcome Christopher Sabatini from Chatham House and Ivan Briscoe from the International Crisis Group. 

Also on today's show: Elliot Williams, former Deputy Assistant Attorney General For Legislative Affairs, DOJ; Sam Kass, former Senior Nutrition Policy Adviser to President Obama

Trump's 'Extrajudicial Executions'

European leaders are meeting in England this week to push for a "just and lasting peace" in Ukraine. With President Trump’s unpredictable position on the Ukraine war, it’s up to Europe to hold the line against a deal that could undermine Kyiv and weaken Europe. Former NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg led the alliance from 2014 to 2024, grappling with Russia’s aggression and Donald Trump’s threats to pull out of NATO altogether. He’s published a new memoir, called “On My Watch,” about his successes, and his mistakes.

Former NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg

Despite the ceasefire, it was another deadly weekend in the shattered enclave of Gaza. Meanwhile, the UN warns that the aid supplies getting into Gaza are still "way below what's needed." The decision to allow some aid in, though, indicates Israeli is maintaining key components of Trump's ceasefire deal, for now. Veteran diplomat and former peace negotiator Dennis Ross joins the show live from Washington DC.
