Trump Holds Situation Room Meeting on Iran | Balance of Power 05/29/2026
“Balance of Power: Late Edition” focuses on the intersection of politics and global business. On today’s show, Natasha Hall, Associate Fellow at Chatham House, says the White House’s silence after President Trump was expected to decide on a new Iran cease-fire plan reflects “massive indecisiveness” over the conflict’s end goal. Rep. Yvette Clarke (D-NY) says Louisiana’s new congressional map eliminating a majority-Black district is part of a broader redistricting push that is “devastating” for Black political representation. Moody’s Analytics Chief Economist Mark Zandi says the war with Iran needs to end immediately or recession will become more likely than not. Chris Hadfield, former International Space Station Commander, suggests Blue Origin’s rocket explosion is a setback for both Blue Origin and the entire space program.
