Has the US cancelled free speech?
Why are US professors suing to challenge the Trump administration's crackdown on pro-Palestine activism? Several groups of professors in the United States are suing the Trump administration over its policy of arresting, detaining, cancelling visas, and deporting students who participate in pro-Palestinian advocacy. The crackdown on free speech is creating a chilling effect across US academia, argues Jamil Jaffer, executive director of the Knight First Amendment Institute at Columbia University, which is one of the organisations that brought the lawsuit. Jaffer tells host Steve Clemons that the issue is much wider than the rights of non-citizens in the country. The government's actions have the effect of 'stifling a political viewpoint that the government doesn't like'.

Iran Knows Well the Consequences If It Striks Americans, Jaffer Says
Jamil Jaffer, who served as the former associate counsel to President George W. Bush, says Iran has seen what would happen if the country decides to hit Americans, referencing the US assassination of Kassim Soleimani in 2020. Jaffer says the end goal of US strikes in Iran is to have the country operate in the region in an appropriate manner, not support terrorism and not build a nuclear weapon. "Part of the problem here is we've allowed Iran to have a [uranium] enrichment program for so long. We don't even allow our allies, the UAE to conduct one", he says. Jaffer speaks to Bloomberg's Tom Mackenzie on "Daybreak: Europe." (Source: Bloomberg)
