Americanswers! The ‘special relationship’ and running for a third term?

We answer your questions on the biggest issues in the run-up to the election

Justin gets grilled by the Americasters on why he didn’t correct an interviewee who referred to Donald Trump as “President”... And why he refers to the world wide HQ of Americast as being in “London, England”.

He and Sarah also tackle precinct issues like how Trump and Keir Starmer would interact if elected this year, and whether he could run for a third term, and how a President builds his cabinet. We also hear from a caller who wants to know what happened to the political centre ground in the United States.

HOSTS:
Sarah Smith, North America editor
Justin Webb, Radio 4 presenter
