Trong số các thỏa thuận về thương mại và an ninh – quốc phòng mà Washington và Seoul cùng thông báo hôm 14/11/2025, hồ sơ đáng quan tâm nhất là việc Hoa Kỳ chấp nhận để Hàn Quốc đóng tầu ngầm tấn công chạy bằng năng lượng hạt nhân cho hải quân cả hai nước. Dự án này, nếu được thực hiện, đánh dấu một bước ngoặt lớn, khẳng định hơn nữa thế thống trị của Hàn Quốc trong lĩnh vực công nghiệp hàng hải cũng như là sức mạnh hải quân nước này. « Ngành đóng tàu, lá chủ bài để Hàn Quốc đàm phán thuế quan với Mỹ », ngày 23/06/2025, trang Le Marin chuyên về kinh tế hàng hải đã đưa ra nhận định này. Seoul sở hữu một công nghiệp đóng tàu bậc nhất thế giới, chỉ sau Trung Quốc. Thậm chí nước Mỹ của Donald Trump, ngày càng bị Trung Quốc bỏ xa trong lĩnh vực hàng hải, gần đây phải đưa tàu chiến của mình đến bảo trì tại các xưởng của Hàn Quốc, một quyết định mang tính chiến lược. Truyền thống hàng hải lâu đời Thế mạnh ngành công nghiệp này đã có từ xa xưa, nhưng chúng thực sự trở thành một trong những chiến lược quan trọng của đất nước khi tổng thống Park Chung Hee (1962 – 1979) lên nắm quyền. Trong thập niên 1960, ông đã quyết định thúc đẩy phát triển các ngành công nghiệp nặng, bao gồm cả sản xuất thép (Hàn Quốc là nhà sản xuất thép hàng thứ tư trên thế giới), vượt qua Nhật Bản vào thời điểm chuyển giao thế kỷ, vốn thống lĩnh thị trường đóng tàu trong một thời gian dài sau Đệ Nhị Thế Chiến cho đến khi bị ngành đóng tàu giá rẻ Trung Quốc cạnh tranh gay gắt. Từ Seoul, thông tín viên Trần Công nhắc lại đôi nét lịch sử phát triển ngành đóng tàu Hàn Quốc : « Từ thời Đô đốc Yi Sun Sin (1545 – 1598), kỹ nghệ đóng tàu của Triều Tiên đã góp phần quyết định giúp quân dân Hàn Quốc đánh bại hải quân Nhật Bản trong cuộc chiến tranh bảo vệ đất nước. Chiến thuyền “Tàu Rùa” với cấu trúc bọc sắt độc đáo đã trở thành nền tảng lịch sử cho truyền thống hàng hải của quốc gia này. Bước sang thời cận đại, ngành đóng tàu Hàn Quốc chính thức hình thành từ năm 1929 với sự ra đời của các xưởng cơ khí và cơ sở đóng tàu đầu tiên. Giai đoạn Thế chiến II và thời kỳ Nhật Bản chiếm đóng khiến đất nước chìm trong xung đột, nhưng nhu cầu tàu vận tải và quân sự đã tạo nền móng ban đầu cho kỹ thuật đóng tàu hiện đại. Đến cuối thập niên 1960, sau khi Hyundai bước vào lĩnh vực đóng tàu, mở ra bước ngoặt lịch sử và đặt nền móng cho sự trỗi dậy của ngành. Tuy nhiên sau cuộc khủng hoảng tài chính toàn cầu và áp lực cạnh tranh giá rẻ từ Trung Quốc, ngành đóng tàu Hàn Quốc từng có giai đoạn chững lại nghiêm trọng vào những năm 2012–2016. » Tại Ulsan (đông nam Hàn Quốc), xưởng đóng tàu lớn nhất thế giới của tập đoàn Hyundai Heavy Industries (HHI), cung cấp việc làm cho khoảng 21 ngàn người lao động, mỗi năm cho xuất xưởng đến 50 loại tầu cỡ lớn bao gồm thương mại và quân sự. Năm 2024, hãng HHI ký kết đến 9 tỷ đô la hợp đồng, theo như phóng sự của kênh truyền hình Pháp France 24 ngày 29/10/2025. Một trong những mặt hàng chủ lực của Ulsan là tàu chở khí hóa lỏng, xưởng này có thể cung cấp mỗi năm từ 13-14 chiếc với ba loại tải trọng khác nhau 176, 180 và 216 ngàn tấn, theo như một phóng sự khác của Le Monde (ngày 16/09/2022). Cũng theo thông tín viên Trần Công, « ngày nay, Hàn Quốc đã vươn trở lại vị trí cường quốc số một thế giới về đóng tàu, đặc biệt ở các dòng tàu công nghệ cao như tàu chạy bằng khí hóa lỏng (LNG carrier), tàu chở dầu thô cực lớn (VLCC), tàu chạy methanol và các loại tàu thân thiện môi trường. Ba tập đoàn HD Hyundai, Hanwha Ocean và Samsung Heavy Industries dẫn đầu toàn cầu về công nghệ, tiêu chuẩn an toàn và khả năng chế tạo tàu cỡ lớn. Ngành đóng tàu hiện là trụ cột kinh tế, chiếm tỷ trọng lớn trong xuất khẩu (khoảng 7%-8%) và là biểu tượng cho năng lực kỹ thuật, công nghiệp và sáng tạo của Hàn Quốc trong kỷ nguyên mới. » Ngành đóng tầu : Một trong những trụ cột kinh tế Một nhịp độ sản xuất khiến các đối thủ châu Âu vất vả đuổi theo. Ngay vào năm 1987, xưởng đóng tàu của Thụy Điển là Kockums đã phải tuyên bố phá sản. Báo Pháp Le Marin cho biết, trước khi Donald Trump đe dọa áp thuế, xuất khẩu của Hàn Quốc đạt mức kỷ lục trong năm 2024. Các phân tích dữ liệu cho thấy, ngành đóng tàu là một trong những đầu tàu chính của kinh tế đất nước : lĩnh vực này chiếm gần 4% tổng kim ngạch xuất khẩu Hàn Quốc và trong năm 2024, đã tăng lên gần 20% so với năm 2023. Để có thể phát triển mạnh ngành công nghiệp này, Hàn Quốc đã có những chiến lược như thế nào ? Đâu là những thế mạnh của ngành công nghiệp đóng tầu Hàn Quốc ? Thông tín viên Trần Công giải thích tiếp : « Hàn Quốc sở hữu lợi thế địa lý hiếm có trong ngành đóng tàu khi gần như bốn bề giáp biển, chỉ phần phía bắc tiếp giáp Triều Tiên nên mọi hướng phát triển kinh tế đều tự nhiên hướng ra đại dương. Với bờ biển dài, nhiều vịnh sâu, khí hậu ổn định và hệ thống cảng tự nhiên thuận lợi, Hàn Quốc từ lâu đã hình thành truyền thống hàng hải và nền tảng phát triển công nghiệp biển mạnh mẽ. Vị trí nằm giữa Trung Quốc – Nhật Bản cũng tạo ra mạng lưới thương mại nhộn nhịp, thúc đẩy nhu cầu đóng tàu và dịch vụ kho bãi cảng biển (logistics). Song song với lợi thế địa lý, Hàn Quốc còn dẫn đầu thế giới về công nghệ đóng tàu, đặc biệt ở các lĩnh vực LNG carrier, VLCC, tàu chạy nhiên liệu xanh và hệ thống tự động hóa thông minh. Quan hệ chặt chẽ với Mỹ, châu Âu và các tập đoàn năng lượng toàn cầu giúp Hàn Quốc luôn tiếp cận sớm tiêu chuẩn mới, công nghệ mới và giữ vị thế đối tác chiến lược trong các dự án hải quân, hải dương. Ba tập đoàn HD Hyundai, Hanwha Ocean và Samsung Heavy Industries duy trì mạng lưới hợp tác mạnh mẽ, từ Nghiên cứu – Phát triển (R&D) đến sản xuất, tạo ra hệ thống công nghệ bậc nhất thế giới. Về chiến lược phát triển, Hàn Quốc đặt mục tiêu duy trì vị trí dẫn đầu bằng cách tập trung vào các loại tàu giá trị cao, đầu tư mạnh vào nhiên liệu sạch như LNG–amoniac–methanol, đẩy nhanh áp dụng công nghệ số trong ngành công nghiệp đóng tàu (digital shipyard), và mở rộng lĩnh vực hải dương như tàu Sản xuất, Lưu trữ và Hạ tải (FPSO), tàu khoan (drillship), tàu khai thác khí thiên nhiên hóa lỏng (FLNG). Nhà nước hỗ trợ qua chính sách tín dụng xuất khẩu, đào tạo nhân lực tay nghề cao và quy hoạch các cụm công nghiệp biển. Nhờ định hướng dài hạn này, ngành đóng tàu Hàn Quốc tiếp tục giữ vai trò trụ cột trong kinh tế quốc gia và là tâm điểm của tương lai công nghiệp biển toàn cầu. » Đóng tàu nhanh, chi phí thấp và kỹ thuật tiên tiến là những lợi thế cạnh tranh mạnh của Hàn Quốc, hiện chiếm đến ¼ thị phần thế giới. Đây cũng chính là những thứ mà nước Mỹ đang thiếu. Trên bảng xếp hạng, Trung Quốc và Hàn Quốc chiếm các vị trí đầu bảng, còn Hoa Kỳ hầu như vắng bóng. Báo cáo của Quốc Hội Mỹ đưa ra hồi tháng 11/2023, được tờ Wall Street Journal (23/09/2024) dẫn lại, cho thấy Trung Quốc, Hàn Quốc và Nhật Bản sản xuất ra những con tàu chiếm hơn 90% trọng tải của thế giới, trong khi Mỹ chỉ đóng có 0,2%. Từ thương mại đến quân sự Việc tổng thống Mỹ Donald Trump bật đèn xanh cho phép Hàn Quốc đóng tầu ngầm chạy bằng năng lượng hạt nhân đánh dấu một bước ngoặt lớn trong ngành công nghiệp hàng hải đất nước. Một mặt, « điều này cho thấy Washington hoàn toàn thừa nhận tầm quan trọng vị thế chiến lược của Hàn Quốc với tư cách là một cường quốc hàng hải và đồng minh đáng tin cậy ở Ấn Độ - Thái Bình Dương. Sự ủng hộ của Hoa Kỳ không chỉ mang tính chính trị, mà còn có thể mang lại sự hợp tác chặt chẽ về công nghệ, phát triển công nghiệp và lập kế hoạch tác chiến », theo như đánh giá của nhà nghiên cứu Yu Ji-hoon, cựu sĩ quan Hải quân Hàn Quốc, người đã tham gia sâu rộng vào các chương trình tàu sân bay và tàu ngầm của Hải quân, trong một chương trình của Arirang News (12/11/2025). Mặt khác, điều này cho phép Seoul thực hiện tham vọng tăng cường năng lực phòng thủ hải quân mà nhiều đời tổng thống đã theo đuổi nhưng bất thành do vấp phải sự phản đối từ Mỹ. Tuy nhiên, quyết định đóng tầu ngầm trong nước của tổng thống Lee Jae Myung cũng làm dấy lên nhiều tranh luận trong giới chuyên gia và truyền thông Hàn Quốc cũng như quốc tế, khi lo rằng tham vọng này của Seoul có nguy cơ mở ra một cuộc chạy đua vũ trang trong vùng Đông Bắc Á. Từ Seoul, thông tín viên Trần Công tường thuật : « Sau khi Tổng thống Lee Jae-myung công khai mong muốn đóng tàu ngầm hạt nhân (SSN) tại Hàn Quốc, việc tự đóng SSN trong nước đang tạo ra làn sóng ý kiến mạnh mẽ từ giới chuyên gia, khu vực và báo chí quốc tế. Giáo sư Mun Geun-sik (Hanyang University) khẳng định Hàn Quốc hoàn toàn có năng lực nội địa hóa SSN, từ thiết kế thân tàu, chế tạo lò phản ứng tới hệ thống điều khiển – điều mà Philadelphia không thể đáp ứng do thiếu toàn bộ hạ tầng tàu ngầm. Nghị sĩ Yoo Jung-ju cũng nhấn mạnh rằng Philadenphia chỉ là xưởng đóng tàu thương mại, và nếu xây dựng dây chuyền hạt nhân từ đầu sẽ mất 5 – 10 năm, nên “đóng trong nước là lựa chọn duy nhất hợp lý”. Giáo sư Peter Ward (Sejong Institute) đưa ra góc nhìn chiến lược hơn, cho rằng Hàn Quốc cần thành lập Ủy ban Mỹ – Hàn về đóng tàu ngầm để kết nối Nghiên cứu & Phát triển – sản xuất – chuỗi cung ứng nhằm rút ngắn thời gian triển khai và giải quyết các rào cản pháp lý. Trong khi đó, giáo sư Kim Yong-hun (Amherst College) nhấn mạnh trở ngại thực sự không phải công nghệ, mà là nhiên liệu hạt nhân, và dự báo Mỹ vẫn muốn giữ quyền kiểm soát phần lò phản ứng trong khuôn khổ hợp tác. Báo chí Nhật Bản đánh giá rằng Hàn Quốc đã âm thầm chuẩn bị năng lực đóng tàu ngầm hạt nhân trong nhiều thập kỷ, nhưng kế hoạch liên tục bị đình trệ vì phụ thuộc hoàn toàn vào sự chấp thuận của Mỹ trong vấn đề cung cấp uranium làm giàu. Các tờ như Sankei Shimbun và Mainichi nhận định việc Tổng thống Lee Jae-myung công khai theo đuổi SSN, cộng với sự đồng thuận mới từ Washington, đã tạo ra “cơ hội thực tế đầu tiên” để Seoul hiện thực hóa chương trình vốn bị bỏ lỡ từ những năm 1990. Tuy nhiên, truyền thông Nhật cũng cảnh báo rằng nếu Hàn Quốc sở hữu tàu ngầm hạt nhân, cục diện an ninh Đông Bắc Á sẽ biến động mạnh, đẩy Trung Quốc vào trạng thái cảnh giác cao độ và làm gia tăng cạnh tranh chiến lược trong khu vực. Bắc Triều Tiên thậm chí chỉ trích kế hoạch của Seoul là “màn dạo đầu cho hiệu ứng domino hạt nhân”, đồng thời tuyên bố sẽ tăng cường hợp tác quân sự với Trung–Nga để đối trọng. Dù vậy, các chuyên gia Hàn Quốc đều thống nhất nhận định : nếu vấn đề nhiên liệu được tháo gỡ, Hàn Quốc có đủ năng lực công nghiệp để tự đóng SSN, và đây sẽ là bước ngoặt nâng tầm tự chủ quốc phòng trong bối cảnh môi trường an ninh khu vực ngày càng biến động. » Dự án hợp tác đóng tầu ngầm Hàn – Mỹ có thể biến thành hiện thực hay không vẫn là một câu hỏi lớn vì nhiều lý do. Tuy nhiên, hầu hết giới chuyên gia đều có chung một nhận xét : Để rút ngắn khoảng cách với lực lượng hải quân Trung Quốc, nước Mỹ của Donald Trump giờ phải dựa vào các đồng minh châu Á. Ông cũng hiểu rằng khẩu hiệu « America First » còn đồng nghĩa với « America Alone » !

El presidente de Estados Unidos le entregó su pleno respaldo a Milei cuando faltan pocos días para unas elecciones clave que pueden definir el futuro del gobierno argentino. ¿Pero qué busca Trump a cambio?

Secretary Rubio's stated goal is to reduce our diplomatic corps by 15%. Does it stop there? After four years of whim and chaos will the world ever trust us to lead again? Will we have the expertise and talent? Ambassador Eric Rubin lays it all out for us.

[00:30] A World in Realignment (26 minutes) The world is realigning in opposition to President Donald Trump's “America First” policies. [26:50] Trumpet Daily Interview: Michael Oren, Part 2 (29 minutes) Trumpet Daily presenter Stephen Flurry interviews former Israeli Ambassador to the U.S. Michael Oren about the current state of affairs in the Middle East.

American Foreign Policy: In Search of Monsters to DestroyHow meme warfare, judicial chokeholds, and moral exhaustion paved a runway straight to TehranDonald Trump is not a shadow lurking at the edge of American democracy. He is the state. The 47th President. Elected—again—not by coup, but through ballots and blood sport. And when, in June 2025, he greenlit the B-2s to bomb Iranian nuclear facilities, it wasn't rogue adventurism. It was the inevitable outcome of a trapped presidency turned outward.The playbook wasn't new—it just had fewer euphemisms.Blocked by courts from implementing mass deportations. Undermined on tariffs. Cornered by a judiciary that suddenly found its love for process. Trump did what presidents do when the domestic war is off-limits: he started a foreign one. Not to spread democracy. Not to “liberate.” But to remind the world—and his base—that he still had power left to swing.This wasn't wag-the-dog. This was spite war—military action not to achieve policy but to avenge paralysis.And somehow, this wasn't un-American. It was peak American.Because the U.S. has long preferred demolition to diplomacy. Our legacy abroad reads like a wrecking report: Iraq, Libya, Afghanistan, Syria. Humanitarian imperialism, cloaked in moral language, leaving behind what one might call “rubbleization”—the systematic breaking of functioning (if flawed) regimes into privatized chaos. Call it Operation Regime Collapse. Call it the Soft Power Empire. Call it empire-in-denial.Trump, to his credit, dropped the pretense. No blue helmets. No brochures. Just leverage, bombs, and a handshake if you're an ally who doesn't whine.Israel, of course, remains the sacred cow in this arrangement. To neocons, evangelicals, and nationalists alike, Israel isn't just a strategic partner—it's the last Western nation that still plays by the old rules: borders, bullets, and unapologetic strength. While America frets over DEI briefings, Israel fights. It doesn't explain itself. And in the American imagination—shaped by thrillers, spy films, and blue fairy godmother Mossad agents—that means something.So when Trump backed Israel—or bombed on its behalf—he wasn't betraying MAGA's isolationist streak. He was affirming its logic. America First doesn't mean America Alone. It means loyalty over liberalism, alliances over apologies, and competence over consensus.Back home, the contradictions multiply. The Right cosplays rebellion while running the government. The Left stages resistance through algorithms, NGOs, and the alphabet soup of federal power. Both claim to be the Rebel Alliance. Both operate like Death Stars. And meanwhile, the country rots under regime warfare—where lawfare replaces legislation, narrative replaces fact, and elections become the only part of democracy we remember to perform.The empathy engine, too, is out of gas. The “baby gambit” no longer moves the public. We've seen too many fake cries, too many staged sobs, too many selective spotlights. Gaza, Ukraine, ICE cages—none of it lands like it used to. Weaponized empathy broke under its own overuse. We are not post-moral. We are post-caring.Trump thrives here. Not despite scandal—but because of it. He eats shame for breakfast. Mugshots become merch. Indictments become slogans. Ivanka jokes become meme lore. He is not a candidate. He is a meme engine. A “shame-eater king.” The political embodiment of antifragility. He can't be grokked because he's not playing the same game. He metabolizes your disgust and turns it into devotion.So when you ask why he bombed Iran, remember: he couldn't deport. He couldn't detain. He couldn't rule the way he wanted. So he did the next best thing: he ruled where no one could stop him.That's not authoritarianism.That's Americanism—with the mask ripped off.

Director of the Global Linkages Lab and Brown University professor Dr. Şebnem Kalemli-Özcan makes the case for why tariffs are not the solution to U.S. trade deficits or U.S. job losses and explains why America First might soon mean America Alone.

President Trump holds an awkward meeting with Canada's Prime Minister just two months before tariffs are set to go up. Then, the President's top trade officials are scheduled to meet with a Chinese delegation just hours after the Treasury Secretary admits trade negotiations have yet to start. And, the consequences of the Trump administration's stance on due process. Jeff Mason, Sam Stein, Senator Doug Jones, Barry Ritholtz, Max Chafkin, Mark Joseph Stern, and John King Jr. join The 11th Hour this Tuesday. 

Donald Trump's return to the White House has brought with it a seismic shift in transatlantic dynamics, with rising trade tensions, reduced diplomatic engagement and growing uncertainty over the future of Western alliances. So what has been the early impact of his second term on EU–US relations and how is Europe responding? With Trump's administration wasting no time in rekindling the “America First” doctrine, this time with fewer diplomatic niceties, tensions over trade, diplomacy and the long-term stability of the transatlantic alliance quickly arose. From the imposition of sweeping tariffs on EU goods – 20 percent across the board, covering all exports from France and other member states – to a reduction in support for Ukraine, Trump's early moves have sent a clear message: Washington's priorities have shifted – and not in Europe's favour.Brussels' response, while restrained, has been firm, and the sense that Europe can no longer rely fully on Washington is taking root.Trump's tariffs come into force, upending economic ties with EuropeRetreat, rather than reformOne of the most striking aspects of Trump's second term so far is his rapid dismantling of traditional US diplomatic structures.Former US diplomat William Jordan warns that the institutional capacity of American diplomacy is being hollowed out. “The notion of America First risks turning into America Alone,” he said.“Everything that's been happening since 20 January has largely demoralised and damaged the State Department."There has been an exodus of seasoned diplomats, alongside a wave of politically motivated "loyalty tests" handed out to charities, NGOs and United Nations agencies as part of the State Department's review of foreign aid – asking them to declare whether they have worked with "entities associated with communist, socialist, or totalitarian parties, or any parties that espouses anti-American beliefs".European allies rally behind Ukraine after White House clashThe cumulative effect of this threat to the impartiality of America's foreign service, Jordan notes, is a profound erosion of trust – not just within US institutions but among global partners.“There are worries in the intelligence community that longstanding partners can no longer share sensitive information with the United States,” he added, raising concerns about the durability of intelligence alliances such as Five Eyes, comprising the US, the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia and New Zealand.Trump's decision to scale back overseas missions and USAID funding has also left vast vacuums of influence – particularly in Africa, where both China and Russia are stepping in to fill the void.“It's not just that it's being done – it's how it's being done. Brutally. Recklessly. Slashing and burning institutions that have taken decades to build,” Jordan told RFI.Amid this weakening of America's traditional soft power influence, however, Jordan also cautions that the country's soft power strategies have not always been effective, pointing to congressional inertia and overlapping funding mandates which have dulled strategic impact.Still, he maintains, a haphazard retreat does more harm than reform.A dressing-down in MunichEurope's discomfort was visible in February at the Munich Security Conference, where US Vice President JD Vance delivered a remarkable rebuke to European leaders, accusing them of wavering on democratic values.The message was harsh, and the delivery even more so – an unprecedented public dressing-down in a diplomatic forum. The reaction in Munich embodied Europe's growing unease.European fears mount at Munich conference as US signals shift on Ukraine“Certainly the language was something that you wouldn't expect,” Mairéad McGuinness, the former EU Commissioner for Financial Stability told RFI.“This is somebody coming to our house and telling us they don't like how we run it. It's not what you expect between friends and allies. Was it a surprise? Maybe not,” she added. “But it's not normal."The incident underscored an increasingly assertive US posture under Trump 2.0, and the deepening fissures within the Western alliance, reflected in the new administration's willingness to publicly challenge long-standing relationships.European allies rally behind Ukraine after White House clash'Confidence in the US is eroding'The EU has responded with a measured approach – "how the European Union tends to do its business,” according to McGuinness.“What is problematic is trying to understand exactly what the US side wants,” she continued. “We're hearing not just about tariffs, but also about food safety, financial regulation – areas where Europe leads globally."Rather than caving to pressure, the EU is showing signs of a more confident and coordinated strategic posture – in a similar vein to its response during the Covid-19 crisis and its rapid support for Ukraine following Russia's 2022 invasion.One consequence of these shifting diplomatic sands has been a rise in investment in European defence, following the US decision to suspend military aid to Ukraine.EU Commission chief calls for defence 'surge' in address to EU parliamentWith EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen announcing that, under the Rearm Europe plan announced by  on 6 March, EU member states can boost defence spending, European arms manufacturers are seizing the opportunity to compete against their US rivals.While not a wholesale pivot away from the US, it signals a broader awareness that over-reliance on any single partner carries risks.William Jordan put it bluntly: “Confidence in the US as a reliable partner is eroding, and not just in Europe.”For him, this moment could present an opportunity for Europe to build a more independent and robust security architecture – one less vulnerable to the whims of any one American president.

For 80 years, the United States built strong economic, military, and political alliances around the world. But in just 100 days, that trust has been dismantled, and our friends are now working without us to forge new relationships. Former Secretary of State Antony Blinken joins Tim to discuss how hard it will be to rebuild after what Trump has done—plus the Biden administration's response to the Gaza protests, and the continuing questions over why Biden did not step aside earlier. And, Alex Wagner joins from Hungary to discuss the mass protests there. Tony Blinken and Alex Wagner join Tim Miller. show notes Alex's "Trumpland" podcast Tim on Trump's ABC News interview

Rogers for America with Lt. Steve Rogers – Our drawing down of military forces around the world has not deterred but emboldened our enemies. For example, Vladimir Putin decided to increase his attacks on Ukraine as soon as the United States began to show some sort of withdrawal from NATO and the European Union. Also, the drawing down of our military presence from the global stage has resulted in...

V tomto dílu se pokoušíme odpovědět na neodpověditelné – jaký je konečný cíl americké hospodářské politiky? Minulou středu vystoupil americký prezident v Růžové zahradě Bílého domu a ohlásil celní válku většině světa. Nazval to Dnem osvobození. Nebude to ale spíš Den zkázy světového obchodu? Bude se na to jednou vzpomínat jako na legendární výstřel z křižníku Aurora, který předznamenal bolševickou revoluci v Rusku? Prezident tvrdí, že chce zpět přilákat průmyslové firmy. Problém je, že Spojené státy jsou příliš bohaté, aby levně vyráběly. Podle statistik (worlddata.info) je průměrný plat v USA 6700 dolarů, zatímco v sousedním Mexiku jen 990 dolarů a v Číně 1100 dolarů. Jaká síla by přivedla zpět do USA s tak drahou cenou práce tradiční průmysl? Nebo je smyslem celní války snížit cla v řadě zemí a dostat se na jejich trh? A zase: s takovými náklady na cenu práce se bude Američanům jen těžko vyvážet. Ostatně už dnes vyváží téměř jen služby. Anebo je záměrem změnit systém mezinárodních vztahů, stáhnout se z řady míst světa, včetně Evropy, a snížit své náklady na angažovanost ve světě? Zároveň jsme svědky jiného trendu – rostoucí nepřátelství v mezinárodních vztazích, hlavně mezi USA a Čínou, vede k omezování obchodu. Cesta z toho rozhodně není v maximální soběstačnosti, protože jiným slovem pro soběstačnost v čemkoli je zvyšování cen a všeobecné chudnutí. Vítězem v těchto hrách mohou být jen firmy s dominantním postavením na trhu. V Česku například kasta zemědělských agrobaronů. Jasné je jedno – svět po desetiletích otevřenosti se opět začíná uzavírat, a to se všemi důsledky pro politický život v těchto zemích.

Ook na het weekend blijkt Donald Trump niet van mening te zijn veranderd. Hij zet zijn handelsoorlog volop door. En daarin heeft hij een paar goede volgelingen. Handelsminister Howard Lutnik noemt die handelsoorlog onvermijdelijk en is ervan overtuigd dat Amerika tot nu toe leeggeplunderd werd door de rest van de wereld. En ook minister van Financiën Scott Bessent ziet geen reden voor paniek en weigert zelfs maar aan een recessie te denken. Beleggers denken er duidelijk anders over, want wereldwijd kleuren de beurzen rood. Een bericht van nieuwszender CNBC leek daar even verandering in te brengen. Dat meldde dat een economisch adviseur van Trump een gerucht had opgepikt over een mogelijke pauze in de handelsoorlog. Beleggers wisten niet hoe snel ze moesten inslaan, maar kwamen vrijwel meteen weer van een koude kermis thuis. Want het Witte Huis wist niet hoe snel dat gerucht ontkracht moest worden. En dat wierp de beurzen alleen nog maar verder in het diepe. Tot overmaat van ramp besloot Trump vervolgens ook weer dat hij te lang z'n mond had gehouden. Zijn doelwit? China. Dat had vlak voor het weekend al aangekondigd om elke heffing vanuit de VS met gelijke munt terug te betalen. Dat wordt een duur grapje voor Trump, want die dreigt nu met nog eens 50 procent extra heffing tegen China. Een samenvatting van deze rollercoaster van een beursdag hoor je in deze aflevering. En dan vertellen we je ook over de afvalligen, want die heeft Trump ook. Het Amerikaanse bedrijfsleven vindt namelijk dat hij te ver gaat met zijn handelsoorlog. Misschien wel de meest opvallende criticus is Elon Musk. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

“Yes, there is a “secret to happiness”—and it is gratitude. All happy people are grateful, and ungrateful people cannot be happy."  -Dennis Prager   I can't believe Trump had this hit show for 12 seasons on network tv, was a household name, and had a real estate empire and said to himself, "You know Donald, why don't you put this stuff aside and dream BIG?"  AND IT WORKED   Let's all reflect on the genius of the Founders. With their goofy electoral college, they minimized the chances of fraud centuries in advance. Think about how much harder it is to cheat big in multiple states compared to, oh, the two or three most corrupt counties in America.

Could America's political polarization be paving the way for a return to a multipolar world? Dr. Charles Kupchan, Professor of International Affairs at Georgetown University and Senior Fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations, joins us to explore this provocative question. With the possibility of Trump reelection looming, we discuss the repercussions of an isolationist America retreating from its leadership role on the global stage. Dr. Kupchan explains the historical context of America's foreign policy, drawing fascinating parallels with the early reluctance to form alliances and the modern-day 'America First' stance.As the United States grapples with a diminished ability to single-handedly dictate global outcomes, we consider the necessity of partnering with both democratic and non-democratic nations. How does this shift alter the global balance of power, and can new alliances successfully tackle pressing issues like climate change and nuclear proliferation? Through the lens of Dr. Kupchan's experience, we discuss the complexities of a world where no single nation dominates, and consider whether this transition might not be as destabilizing as it seems.Our converation also tackles the dual threats of political dysfunction and socioeconomic changes reshaping Western democracies. With liberal populism on the rise and traditional influences waning, this episode offers a piercing examination of the precarious international landscape. We reflect on the fate of countries like Ukraine and Israel amidst these shifting dynamics, while contemplating the future of American foreign policy and the potential for a renewed national dialogue. -------------------------Follow Deep Dive:InstagramYouTube Email: deepdivewithshawn@gmail.com Music: Majestic Earth - Joystock

United States President-elect Joe Biden is making it clear that his presidency will not be a "third Obama term." He made those statements in his first interview as president-elect with NBC's Lester Holt, Tuesday night. Biden went onto say that it's a different world since the Obama Administration and that President Donald Trump changed the landscape saying in part: "It's become America first. America Alone." The President-elect also formally announced new members of his National Security Team on Tuesday. His members include: John Kerry as Special Presidential Envoy for climate, Jake Sullivan as National Security Adviser and Avril Haines for Director of National Intelligence. Biden praised his nominees and their diverse backgrounds. Haines is a physicist and a pilot who also knows judo. The number of people dying from Covid-19 is rising. The climbing trend continued on Tuesday with 15 days of record hospitalizations and more than 1800 people reported dead. Dr. Anthony Fauci says he's had his first conversation with President-elect Biden's team. Biden says, the hope is that the Trump Administration will be able to start distributing the vaccine before Biden takes the oath of office in January. Millions of people are going against the CDC's guidelines and traveling for Thanksgiving. There are at least 6900 flights scheduled for Thursday.To learn more about how CNN protects listener privacy, visit cnn.com/privacy

On today's program, Zach shares a rarely heard side of his testimony. Here is a small excerpt from the show. It is time that I share the untold side of my testimony, where I left reality and spoke to a demonic entity in outer space that deceived me about eternity, heaven and the true things of God. YOUR testimony is SO powerful: what the Lord has saved you from, and how you came to know the Lord. I've never shared a certain part of my testimony, like I will today on TV, simply because it was so radical, so demonic, so deceiving, so ‘out of this world' that I was always too scared to talk about it. I thought that if I did, people would judge me too harshly. When I first got saved, I shared this story with several people. There came a point in my life, however, when I felt my position was too ‘recognized' to share something so ‘crazy.' I was the co-host of an internationally syndicated Christian program; a place where every word is judged, scrutinized, and picked apart because there are SO many trolls on the internet who watch it. I didn't want to say anything so radical that it would destroy my own credibility, or the credibility of those around me. BUT I NOW BELIEVE that was all a lie! There is only one person that didn't want me telling that side of the story, and it was the adversary of our souls: the enemy, Satan. I believe it was the enemy feeding me those lies. He knew that if I told the WHOLE story, it would ultimately expose him. Once I tell this story, it will be clear why I have been talking DMT so much. Millions of Millennials are taking DMT each year in America ALONE and having similar experiences. These experiences are COMPLETELY changing their worldview. There are many things you could call it, but their new worldview, after these experiences, is very ‘new age'… very ‘eastern religion' - love, energy, reincarnation, astrology, VIBRATIONS, the ‘christ consciousness', we can all be right and have our own truths, all we have is our ‘experiences.' I am praying my testimony will lead others to JESUS! Follow the Zach Drew show at ZachDrewShow.com Please consider partnering with us!

We continue part two of our talk on ayahuasca and the deceptive push for it to be legalized. We know that DMT was used in the days of Noah to communicate with the fallen angels, so is it just a coincidence that there is a massive resurgence of the use of this drug? Let's not forget that Jesus said, “As it was in the days of Noah so it will be at the coming of the Son of Man.” If DMT and ayahuasca was being used like crazy in the days of Noah then we should not be surprised by the resurgence in popularity. The most recent study we have shows that over 1.4 million people were using DMT in 2012 in America ALONE, and the data implies that the number is increasing exponentially as only a couple hundred thousand were using it just a few years before that; But as the days of Noah were, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be.” This spike in the use of this drug, nicknamed the “God Molecule,” is just another sign that we are getting closer to the Lord's return. This push towards DMT is also linked to AI and brain-machine interfaces. Famous Journalist Graham Hancock, in his banned TED talk, stated that DMT is the “next step in the human evolution,” which is similar to the idea of the “God-man” that scientists are trying to achieve through technology. The end goal is to legalize DMT, and they will do it in the same way weed was legalized recreationally. First it will be accepted in the health science community as an antidepressant, as a study from the number one leader in research and development in America, Johns Hopkins, has shown that DMT could be used to fight anxiety. Eventually DMT will find its way to mainstream markets and people will have full access to it. People who smoke DMT and have encounters with otherworldly beings believe that they have met God, and they will worship these beings. This psychedelic could play a huge role in the great deception of the end times. It's so important that you know the Lord and what His word says. We are all eternal beings, and what we do in this life determines what happens to our souls forever. Jesus is the only way to heaven, and if you believe in Him and confess that belief, you will be saved. Repent of your sins, draw near to God today, and He will draw near to you.

President Trump, who knows little about history, had a tense phone call late last month with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau about the steel and aluminum tariffs, during which the president erroneously blamed Canada for the War of 1812.

America First Triumphs in Davos. Open for business. Going to Davos a brilliant strategy. But America First does not mean America Alone. Trump accommodating NAFTA & TPP? Reciprocity. Dollar will get stronger & stronger. Increasingly prominent Sen David Perdue standing w/ Trump on immigration. Tax reform investment boom. SOTU preview. Stocks still on a tear. New records. Dollar? Gold? Oil? Strong investment. Profits. Fed rate hike? Did Trump really want to fire Mueller? Should he? Should he appear under oath before Mueller? What's this classified document w/ Clinton operatives & phony dossier & FISA? Will secular stagnationists Larry Summers and Jason Furman eat crow. A new more flexible Trump on trade, immigration? Policy power of Gen Kelly?
