US of Ed: US needs allies in Asia, but Australia taken for granted

“The relationship is stable, Australia and the United States have a lot to gain together, the ambassador is symbolic but not that important.”

Donald Trump hosted his first state visitor French President Emmanuel Macron this week and things were chummy except on the topic of the Iran Deal, and it could have far-reaching implications including for North Korea. Australia has been left feeling rejected after the man tipped to become US ambassador is headed for South Korea instead, so what does it mean for the two countries relations? Ed joins us from Chicago to talk these topics as well as the Waffle House shooting in Nashville, South China Sea, evangelicals plans for the 2018 midterms and the latest insult for the EPA.
