“Balance of Power” focuses on the intersection of politics and global business. On today’s show, Rep. Raja Krishnamoorthi (D-IL) says Iran could take advantage militarily and economically of President Trump’s announcement that the US will not attack Iran before the midterm elections. Brett Bruen, President of the Global Situation Room and former US diplomat, says Iran may not go along with President Trump’s effort to keep tensions down before the midterm elections and could continue using attacks to demonstrate its leverage.

President Donald Trump said he does not believe Russian President Vladimir Putin will attack NATO members, as tensions rise in Europe over Moscow targeting countries that supply weapons and money to Ukraine. #trump #putin #russia #ukraine #news #usa #politics #world

Trump said Thursday that he had “good talks” with Putin, adding that “he’s not going to be attacking a NATO territory.”

The president’s comments follow a rare trip by CIA Director John Ratcliffe to Russia for meetings on Tuesday, though it remains unclear what he discussed with Russian counterparts. Trump in a radio interview Wednesday called Ratcliffe’s trip “semi-routine.”
