The President’s Path: Trump’s power

Trump is flexing his muscles and pushing the limits of his power over executives and the military.

President Trump is expanding his powers over the federal workforce and flexing his muscles in front of generals.

On this episode, Caitríona Perry, Courtney Subramanian, and Sumi Somaskanda analyse the consequences of the government shutdown, and what the new guidelines for the US Army could mean for America's military power.

Every weekend, The President’s Path explores the state of US politics — in Washington and beyond. We dig into the key issues shaping America and uncover what’s on the minds of those closest to power. You can contact us at: path@bbc.co.uk
