Amanpour: Paul Krugman, Kim Ghattas, Paige Winfield Cunningham

As the first major contest in the 2020 election is wrapping up in Iowa Paul Krugman, the New York Times columnist and economist, joins Christiane Amanpour to discuss a key concern for many voters: the economy. Krugman explains his surprising argument that the Democratic nomination is irrelevant when it comes down to actual economic policy. Journalist Kim Ghattas, who has been covering the Middle East for twenty years, digs into President Trump's Middle East Plan that the Arab League of nations has just unanimously rejected. She also unpacks the forty-year rivalry between Iran and Saudi Arabia that she details in her new book, "Black Wave." Our Hari Sreenivasan sits down with Paige Winfield Cunningham, reporter at The Washington Post, to talk about healthcare policy in the U.S. and why she believes neither party will make major changes to healthcare if elected in the 2020 race.To learn more about how CNN protects listener privacy, visit cnn.com/privacy Learn more about your ad choices.
