US Cuts Aid to Pakistan

The World Tonight

Available for over a year

Washington has suspended most security assistance to Pakistan - we look at the increasingly dysfunctional relationship between Pakistan and the United States. President Trump's lawyers are trying to block the book by Michael Wolff full of shocking claims and allegations about White House chaos and incompetence - we talk to a Republican about the damage this is doing and asking a Democrat whether his party can capitalise on this? And after the environment secretary Michael Gove promises to keep subsidies for farmers after Brexit we discuss the future of British farming after we leave the EU.
