Each episode also features Zakaria leading a panel discussion and interviewing a major world figure. 

Trump threatened U.S. withdrawal from the WHO this week, alleging the organization is aligned with China. Is he right? What would the WHO look like without the U.S.? WHO Assistant Director-General Stewart Simonson talks to Fareed. Also, China tightened its grip on Hong Kong and threatened "counter-measures" against America. What's behind Beijing's bold behavior? And just how bad IS China's relationship with the U.S.? Tom Friedman and Zanny Minton Beddoes answer these questions and more. Also, Gary Cohn, former Director of the National Economic Council under President Trump, tells Fareed what Americans can and should expect from the economy in the months to come.
