Former White House Middle East Coordinator Brett McGurk tells Bloomberg This Weekend that the deadly attack on Riyadh's international airport underscores the growing threat from Iran-backed Houthi militants, while hardline leadership in Tehran complicates efforts to negotiate an end to the broader regional conflict. Speaking with hosts David Gura and Christina Ruffini, McGurk discusses his new book, Brink, which recounts negotiations to free the October 7 hostages, and warns that the Trump administration's Russian diesel agreement could undermine efforts to end the war in Ukraine. -------- Watch Bloomberg Radio LIVE on YouTube Weekdays 7am-6pm ET Saturday & Sunday 7am-10am ET WATCH HERE: http://bit.ly/3vTiACF Follow us on X: https://twitter.com/BloombergRadio Subscribe to our Podcasts: Bloomberg Daybreak: http://bit.ly/3DWYoAN Bloomberg Surveillance: http://bit.ly/3OPtReI Bloomberg Intelligence: http://bit.ly/3YrBfOi Balance of Power: http://bit.ly/3OO8eLC Bloo
