    In Brief: One Year of Trump 2.0 - What’s the Global Impact?

    Donald Trump ran his 2024 US presidential campaign vowing to be the “peace president.” Now one year into his second term, his tenure has been marked by global instability, and a return down the path towards American isolationism. This week on One Decision: In Brief, guest co-host and former Deputy Pentagon Press Secretary Sabrina Singh joins former head of MI6 and host Sir Richard Dearlove to discuss the shocks and surprises that have defined the geopolitical landscape of this past year. Sir Richard argues that Trump has acted as a catalyst towards the continued disintegration of Pax Americana, and worries that Trump’s relationship with Russian President Vladimir Putin puts an end to the war in Ukraine in jeopardy. Sabrina reflects on the shift in US foreign policy, from the closing of USAID, to joint strikes with Israel on Iran and a fragile ceasefire in the war in Gaza. Together, they explore what to watch for in the coming year, including AI technologies emerging as a strategic issue, the effects of Trump’s tariffs, the fate of the theocratic regime in Iran, Greenland, and the looming economic and military shadow of China.
