Europe's view of U.S. amid Iran war, Trump's NATO threats

Donald Trump’s war in Iran is putting economic pressure on much of Europe. The president has also suggested he will “punish” NATO allies that did not help the U.S. in Iran. The panel discusses the lasting effects of the conflict on the U.S. and its traditional allies.
