Amanpour: Jamie Metzl, Margaret MacMillan, Tom Perez and Cyrus Habib

Margaret MacMillan, the historian and author, highlights that it is essential countries work together at this time of crisis. She unpacks the implications of Covid-19 on international relations and our world leaders.

Tom Perez, chair of the Democratic National Committee, speaks about these latest developments in his U.S. politics. Cyrus Habib, Lt. Governor of Washington, discusses their success containing the coronavirus and why he isn't standing for re-election in November.To learn more about how CNN protects listener privacy, visit cnn.com/privacy Learn more about your ad choices.
