Fareed Zakaria GPS S2023E27 - July 9, 2023

Journalist and author Fareed Zakaria hosts this in-depth look at the major global developments of the week (the title's "GPS" stands for "Global Public Square"), with an emphasis on new ideas and innovative solutions to the World's toughest problems. Each episode also features Zakaria leading a panel discussion and interviewing a major world figure.

This week Fareed sits down for an exclusive interview with President Joe Biden in the Roosevelt Room of the White House. They speak about the questions of NATO accession for Ukraine and Sweden ahead of the president's trip to Vilnius, Lithuania for the coming week's 2023 NATO summit. They also discuss US–China tensions, and President Biden tells Fareed that although China has big ambitions, he believes Washington and Beijing can establish a stable working relationship. Plus, President Biden assesses America's relationships with Israel and Saudi Arabia—and tells Fareed that he is running for reelection to "finish the job" of uniting democracies and making the world more secure. Fareed also talks with Janine di Giovanni, executive director of The Reckoning Project, about her group's work documenting alleged Russian war crimes in Ukraine.
