Americanswers⦠on 5 Live! Biden's last effort to help Ukraine?
Why the president has allowed Ukraine to use US missiles in Russia
Over the weekend, President Biden authorised Ukraine to use long-range missiles supplied by the US to strike Russia. Is this his last-ditch effort to help before Trump takes over?
Also, Trumpβs cabinet picks continue to draw criticism. The Americast team discuss how the president-elect is making his decisions, and whether heβs actually interested in governing once his team is in place.
And what do Americans mean by the middle class?
