Episode 102: Donald Trump vs. the World Part II with Frank Lavin

In this episode of the Global Economy Podcast, Fredrik Erixon and Frank Lavin discuss the potential impact of the incoming second Trump administration on foreign policy.

They analyse the likelihood of a continuing transactional and domestic-centric approach, considering campaign rhetoric, Trump’s volatile attitude, and his new team.

They also examine his foreseeable approach to relations in Asia, particularly with China, and Europe, with special attention to the ongoing war in Ukraine.
