"Balance of Power: Late Edition" focuses on the intersection of politics and global business. On today's show, Rep. Maggie Goodlander of New Hampshire calls on President Donald Trump to provide a “basic rationale” for the war in Iran as additional US troops deploy to the region. Heather Conley, Nonresident Senior Fellow at the American Enterprise Institute, says President Trump was correct to delay a planned summit with China’s Xi Jinping, noting the optics would be “terrible” if the president visited China as the Iran war intensifies. Finland’s President Alexander Stubb said NATO allies have to take Donald Trump at his word when the US president puts the future of the alliance on the line to safeguard passage through the Strait of Hormuz.
