Stroul: Trump's Iran Economic Push Needs Partners. Dana Stroul, Senior Fellow and Director of Research at the Washington Institute for Near East Policy, says imposing more punishing economic pressure on Iran will depend on cooperation from partners including the UAE and China. She says the UAE's move to cut economic ties with Tehran could be "extremely significant" if fully implemented, while warning China has tools to retaliate against additional US pressure. She speaks with Kailey Leinz on the late edition of Bloomberg's "Balance of Power." (Source: Bloomberg)
