As Donald Trump鈥檚 list of appointments becomes longer and more controversial, there鈥檚 one area that seems set for drastic change: defence.

The announcements come alongside Joe Biden鈥檚 decision to supply Ukraine with long-range missiles to fire into Russia, just months before Trump becomes commander in chief.

We speak to Robert Wilkie, the man in charge of preparing Trump鈥檚 defence policy. He tells us what鈥檚 happening behind the scenes, how Trump could negotiate an end to the war in Ukraine, and why he鈥檚 picked a Fox New presenter as his defence secretary.

HOSTS:
鈥� Justin Webb, Radio 4 presenter
鈥� Marianna Spring, Social Media Investigations Correspondent

GUEST

- Robert Wilkie, director of defence transition
