Staged with our new "Unresolved" debate format, the debaters argue for or against a number of motions including: Is Donald Trump making China great again? Is China destined for regional dominance?

Truth, Politics and Power: The United States and Iran
The United States and Iran confront each other in Yemen and the Gulf, while the longtime enemies act as uncomfortable allies against ISIS in Syria and Iraq. Meanwhile, President Trump faces a crucial decision on the nuclear agreement he’s long vowed to tear up. In the next Truth Politics and Power, host Neal Conan explores the consequences of that decision, and delves into two crucial periods in the troubled history between the US and the Islamic Republic..…The Iran-Iraq War, when the US sided with Iran’s bitterest enemy…and the Invasion of Iraq, which left Iran as the principal beneficiary.

After Paris: Global Approaches to Climate Change
It’s been almost two years since 195 countries signed a historic climate change agreement in Paris. And last spring, President Trump announced his intention to pull the US out of the agreement.

We'll explore how various countries are tackling the issue of climate change — from China and India to the Arctic and North Africa. And we'll discuss whether countries can reduce their emissions without damaging their economies and what the US pullout means for the world.

Trade Off - A Marketplace Special
"Trade Off" explores key moments in America's long history of global trade, and its impact on workers and the economy. Who has gained from trade deals that opened borders, or from higher tariffs that closed them?
"Trade Off" travels to the first American industrial park envisioned by Alexander Hamilton, to Utah and Oregon, where senators pushing tariffs may have spawned the Great Depression, to Wisconsin workers seeking new job hope in retraining, and an immigrant family reflecting on globalization and the middle class.
Hosted by Marketplace Sustainability Desk correspondent Scott Tong and reporter Sarah Gardner, with additional reporting by Kai Ryssdal and Stephen Beard
