Daniel Abraham Professor of Middle East Policy Studies, Princeton School of Public and International Affairs, https://spia.princeton.edu/faculty/dkurtzer Aaron David Miller, Senior Fellow, Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, https://carnegieendowment.org/people/aaron-david-miller?lang=en Learn about future events and live recordings of the “Baker Briefing” podcast by subscribing to our “Events Digest” newsletter: https://www.bakerinstitute.org/newsletter A transcript of this episode is available here: http://bit.ly/3I59qZR You can follow @BakerInstitute on X, Instagram, LinkedIn, and YouTube.

90: As the US Steps Back, Can China Fill the Void?

In its first months, the second Trump administration has upended the alliances, institutions, and norms that have anchored U.S. foreign policy for decades — hiking tariffs on virtually all countries, downplaying U.S. military commitments, and all but dismantling the U.S. Agency for International Development. Meanwhile, as the U.S. steps back from a world order that’s largely of its own making, China is attempting to fill the void. Steven Lewis, director of the Baker Institute China Studies Program, joined “Baker Briefing” to discuss what China’s global soft power campaign looks like and how successful it’s proven thus far. Featured guest: Steven Lewis, Ph.D., https://www.bakerinstitute.org/expert/steven-w-lewis This conversation was recorded on May 13, 2025.

15: Did Trump’s Tariffs Work? What the Economic Data Shows

The Trump administration has touted its tariff strategy as a historic economic success, citing record stock market highs, falling trade deficits, and “virtually no inflation.” But what do the numbers actually show? In this episode of “Baker Briefing”, Ambassador David Satterfield sits down with John W. Diamond, director of the Baker Institute’s Center for Tax and Budget Policy, to examine the data behind the administration’s claims. They break down who really pays for the tariffs, what is driving GDP growth, and whether inflation has truly fallen. This conversation offers an objective assessment of how tariffs are reshaping the U.S. economy and who ultimately benefits as a result. This conversation was recorded on Feb. 10, 2026. Featured: Ambassador David M. Satterfield John W. Diamond, Ph.D. Mentioned in this episode: President Donald J. Trump, “My Tariffs Have Brought America Back,” Wall Street Journal. “The Two-Handed Economist” podcast, hosted by John W. Diamond.
