Former MI6 Chief Sir Richard Dearlove and former U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine John Herbst examine the dynamic between Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump, following the Alaska summit and the extraordinary gathering of European leaders at the White House. Dearlove sees “the characteristics of an intelligence officer at work” in Putin and warns the Russian leader may be "over-invested" in the belief he can manipulate Trump.
