Podcasts about Eurasia Group

The war in Iran may have come to an end, but both the course and the conclusion of that war have brought into sharp relief the forces that increasingly define a world of weaponized power and systemic risk: unconstrained leaders willing to gamble with military force; the search for, and use of, economic leverage; technologies destabilizing both decision-making and development models; and old alliances fracturing and new alignments forming. Ian Bremmer is a leading geopolitical analyst and the president and founder of the Eurasia Group. His most recent piece for Foreign Affairs is about the long-term consequences of the Iran war, but he has also written on shifts in global power, the effect of technology on geopolitics, and much else. Dan Kurtz-Phelan spoke to Bremmer on Monday, June 22, about how to make sense of today's global turmoil.

Convidado: Christopher Garman, diretor executivo das Américas na Eurasia Group, consultoria voltada em analisar tendências geopolíticas, eleições e mudanças regulatórias no continente. Nesta terça-feira (23), o presidente dos Estados Unidos compartilhou em sua rede social um artigo publicado pela emissora NewsMax que cita o Brasil como o próximo “teste” de Trump no processo de “ressurgimento conservador” da América Latina. É mais um sinal de que a Casa Branca está com a eleição brasileira na mira. A relação entre Trump e Lula, que já foi descrita pelo americano como uma “excelente química”, agora está estremecida – depois do encontro do G-7, ele também disse que “não pensa” e “não se importa” com Lula. Na relação entre os países, as últimas semanas registraram o anúncio de um novo tarifaço sobre produtos brasileiros e a classificação das facções CV e PCC como organizações terroristas por parte do governo americano. Neste episódio, Natuza Nery conversa com o analista internacional Christopher Garman sobre o que quer Donald Trump no Brasil e qual o tamanho da influência que ele pode ter nas eleições daqui. Garman avalia o impacto das ações da Casa Branca nas demais eleições latino-americanas e analisa as perspectivas de Lula e Flávio Bolsonaro até outubro.

Vernichtendes Urteil: „Trumps folgenreichster außenpolitischer Fehler“Ein Kommentar von Rainer Rupp.Unter der Überschrift „The Long Shadow of the Iran War - Trump's Most Consequential Foreign Policy Mistake”, in Deutsch: “Der lange Schatten des Iran-Krieges - Trumps folgenreichster außenpolitischer Fehler“ hat die US-Zeitschrift Foreign Affairs (Auswärtige Angelegenheiten) am 17. Juni eine längere Analyse zweier Experten veröffentlicht, die Trump Krieg gegen Iran als eine einzige große Katastrophe für die USA dargestellt.Nun ist Foreign Affairs nicht irgendeine Publikation, denn sie wird von dem Prestige trächtigen Council on Foreign Relations (CFR), (Rat für Auswärtige Beziehungen) herausgegeben. Und dessen Einfluss auf die US-Außenpolitik ist kaum zu übertreffen.Wenn man dann in einem Artikel von Foreign Affairs, wie jetzt am 17. Juni geschehen, lesen kann, dass Trumps Iran-Krieg dem Prestige der USA bleibenden Schaden zugefügt und die Anstrengungen des US-Establishments, nämlich die globale Alleinherrschaft der USA zu erhalten, untergraben hat, dann sollte man den Artikel zwei Mal lesen.Aber auch ohne lange Erklärungen der beiden Autoren des Artikels, Ian Bremmer und Firas Maksad, hat auch der außenpolitisch interessierte Laie längst erkannt, dass Dank Trumps Entscheidung, Iran anzugreifen, er vor den Augen der Welt das US-Militär als Papier-Tiger demaskiert hat. Denn in diesem Krieg konnten nicht einmal die berüchtigten „Carrier-Strike-Groups“ („US-Flugzeugträger Angriffsgruppen“) wie gewohnt agieren.Diesmal mussten sich die „Carrier“ jenseits der Reichweite der iranischen Raketen auf über 1.000 Km Distanz von der iranischen Grenze zurückziehen. Das war wiederum jenseits der Reichweite ihrer Bomber, weshalb diese aufwendig pro Flug bis zu vier Mal aufgetankt werden mussten. Hinzu kam, dass die US-Airforce auch ihre Tankerflotte nicht ausreichend schützen konnte und hohe Verluste verzeichnete. Das und einiges mehr hat den bisherigen Wert der Flugzeugträger als Schlüsselelement der US-Machtprojektion zu einer Karikatur werden lassen.Nicht nur China und Russland haben das genau beobachtet, sondern auch die Mittelmächte rund um die Welt, vor allem aber auch die bisherigen US-Vasallen-Staaten in und um die Golf-Region, wie die beiden Foreign Affairs Autoren entsetzt feststellen.Zu der Qualifikation der beiden Autoren Ian Bremmer und Firas Maksad wäre noch zu sagen, dass Ian Bremmer nicht nur Gründer und Präsident der „Eurasia Group“ ist, sondern auch Herausgeber und Kolumnist des Time Magazine sowie außerordentlicher Professor für internationale und öffentliche Angelegenheiten an der Columbia University. Er ist auch Autor zahlreicher Fachbücher. Firas Maksad ist Geschäftsführer für den Nahen Osten und Nordafrika bei der Eurasia Group.Als wahrscheinlichstes Ergebnis dieses Trump US-Krieges erwarten die beiden Autoren „einen stärker polarisierten und fragmentierten Nahen Osten, in dem bestehende multilaterale Institutionen (wie die vom Westen dominierte Weltbank, der IWF, WTO, usw.) an Einfluss verlieren, rivalisierende Koalitionen sich verhärten und externe Mächte um Einfluss konkurrieren“. Wieder erwarten sie, dass„China sowie Indien, Pakistan und andere Staaten weiter an Boden gewinnen. Sie werden ihre wirtschaftliche und diplomatische Rolle ausbauen, ohne jedoch die Kosten einer hegemonialen Führungsrolle zu tragen. Dieser Trend wird sich voraussichtlich nicht auf den Nahen Osten beschränken.“...https://apolut.net/trump-verzockt-amerikas-macht-von-rainer-rupp/ Hosted on Acast.

O presidente Lula (PT) telefonou para o senador Jaques Wagner (PT-BA) e pediu para o petista se defender das acusações do caso Master. O líder do governo no Senado é um dos novos alvos da Compliance Zero, operação que investiga as fraudes envolvendo o banco de Daniel Vorcaro. A âncora da CNN Thais Herédia, o analista de Política da CNN Caio Junqueira e Christopher Garman, diretor-executivo da Eurasia Group, debatem o assunto.

Chuck opens the podcast with a wide-ranging look at what he sees as the long-term impact of the Trump administration's foreign policy. He argues that the United States has weakened many of the alliances and institutions that underpinned American influence for decades, raising questions about whether key partners in Europe, Asia, and the Middle East can still rely on Washington as a stable security partner. Then Chuck is joined by Eurasia Group founder Ian Bremmer for an in-depth conversation about the aftermath of the Iran war, the future of the Middle East, and the growing geopolitical uncertainty facing America's allies. Bremmer explains why he believes the conflict has fundamentally altered regional dynamics, creating competing power blocs led by the UAE and Israel on one side and Saudi Arabia and its partners on the other. He also discusses China's opportunities in the region, the future of Iran's regime, and why the biggest long-term consequence of the conflict may be an accelerated global shift away from oil and gas. The conversation then turns to Russia and Ukraine, where Bremmer delivers a stark warning: Vladimir Putin may now represent the world's most dangerous geopolitical risk. He explains why he is increasingly concerned about Putin's isolation, decision-making, and willingness to escalate as the war continues. In Ask Chuck, listeners ask about Democratic impeachment scenarios, presidential war powers, the future of the Republican Party, and other political questions shaping the road to 2028.

Since the start of the U.S.-Israel-Iran conflict on February 28, I've found myself drawn to a handful of thoughtful analysts who have helped me make sense of the unfolding conflict and its vast global implications. One of those people is Gregory Brew, an analyst at Eurasia Group and a historian who studies the intersection of Iran, oil, and U.S. foreign policy. As rumors of a potential ceasefire began to swirl, I reached out to Greg to help me understand the nature of this agreement and what it means for U.S.-Iran relations, the region, and the global oil market. We kick off by discussing what we know so far about what this ceasefire obliges Iran and the United States to do, whether he thinks it can hold, and what may come next. This is a timely conversation that will give you the background and context you need to understand U.S.-Iran diplomacy as it unfolds over the coming weeks.

So far, the US-Iran agreement has given both sides the cover to declare victory while somehow satisfying nobody. The inclusion of Israel and Hezbollah in the agreement - surely at Iran's insistence - means it will also be in constant danger of collapse. But with the US and Iran now committed to ending the war, Uncensored looks at the big picture. What has been achieved, if anything? And how will it reshape the region?

Iran and the United States have been adversaries for decades. But caught in the middle are the 92 million Iranians with "90 million opinions" on their government, foreign intervention, and state of their society. In this episode of "Values & Interests," Neda Bolourchi, senior non-resident fellow at the Institute for Global Affairs at Eurasia Group, draws on history and personal values to explore competing visions of change in Iran, the enduring strength of the current regime, and the realities that often get lost in debates about intervention and national sovereignty.

Confira os destaques do Jornal da Manhã deste domingo (07): O governo brasileiro intensifica as negociações com os Estados Unidos para tentar evitar a aplicação de uma tarifa de 25% sobre produtos nacionais. A medida, anunciada pela gestão de Donald Trump, gera preocupação sobre os impactos comerciais e geopolíticos na relação entre os dois países. Brasília busca ampliar o prazo das tratativas até meados de julho e trabalha para manter o Pix fora das discussões. Para analisar o cenário e os possíveis desdobramentos, a Jovem Pan entrevista Fabio Andrade, professor de relações internacionais. A Justiça do Peru determinou o prosseguimento do processo contra o candidato à Presidência Roberto Sánchez, da coalizão Juntos por el Perú, a apenas dois dias do segundo turno das eleições presidenciais. Sánchez é acusado de omitir informações relacionadas ao financiamento partidário em eventos realizados entre 2018 e 2020. A decisão judicial não impede sua participação na votação marcada para domingo (7), mas acrescenta um novo elemento de tensão ao cenário político peruano. O tribunal rejeitou os argumentos apresentados pela defesa e validou formalmente a acusação, embora ainda caibam recursos. A ponte Ponte Frei Paolino Baldassari desabou no início da noite desta sexta-feira (05) em Sena Madureira, deixando quatro pessoas feridas. A estrutura havia sido inaugurada em março de 2024 e estava interditada desde quinta-feira (04). A obra custou R$ 36 milhões e foi supervisionada pelo Departamento de Estradas de Rodagem, Infraestrutura Hidroviária e Aeroportuária do Acre (DER-Acre). A União Europeia oficializou a exclusão do Brasil da lista de países autorizados a exportar carnes e outros produtos de origem animal para o bloco. A medida, que entra em vigor em setembro, foi justificada pela falta de garantias relacionadas ao controle sanitário de antimicrobianos. O governo federal afirmou ter sido surpreendido pela decisão, enquanto entidades do agronegócio contestam o veto e defendem a qualidade dos sistemas de controle e fiscalização brasileiros. Para analisar os impactos econômicos e comerciais da medida, a Jovem Pan entrevista Felippe Serigati. A defesa de Jairo Souza Santos Júnior anunciou que recorrerá da sentença que condenou o ex-vereador a 43 anos, 9 meses e 20 dias de prisão pela morte de Henry Borel. Segundo o advogado Rodrigo Faucz, o recurso será apresentado na próxima segunda-feira e terá como base a alegação de que a decisão dos jurados foi contrária ao conjunto de provas produzido durante o processo. A defesa também afirma ter registrado mais de 20 supostas nulidades ao longo do julgamento, que, na avaliação dos advogados, comprometem a validade da condenação e podem levar à anulação do júri. O Dia dos Namorados deve movimentar cerca de R$ 26 bilhões no comércio em todo o Brasil, segundo pesquisa. O levantamento da Confederação Nacional dos Dirigentes Lojistas (CNDL) e do SPC Brasil aponta que aproximadamente 100 milhões de consumidores pretendem presentear seus parceiros neste ano, o equivalente a seis em cada dez brasileiros. Roupas, perfumes, cosméticos e chocolates estão entre os itens mais procurados, com gasto médio estimado em R$ 264 por pessoa. A pesquisa também mostra que 76% dos consumidores devem pesquisar preços antes das compras e 34% pretendem parcelar os gastos. Além dos presentes tradicionais, a venda de flores também deve crescer, impulsionada pela data comemorativa, pela chegada do frio e pelo calendário de eventos do período. A decisão dos Estados Unidos relacionada às facções criminosas pode gerar impactos no sistema financeiro e aumentar as exigências de compliance sobre instituições bancárias. O tema levanta discussões sobre controles, monitoramento de operações e adequação às normas internacionais. Para analisar os possíveis efeitos da medida e os desafios para o setor financeiro, a Jovem Pan entrevista Cristopher Garman, diretor da Eurasia Group.

Não dá para levar o presidente Lula a sério quando disse hoje que foi surpreendido com a proposta americana de impor ainda mais tarifas sobre exportações. Trump passou meses buscando um jeito de recompor aquelas medidas de imposição de tarifas que a corte suprema de lá disse que não tinham base legal. Além do âncora da CNN William Waack, participam desta edição Thaís Herédia, analista de Economia, Caio Junqueira, analista de Política, Daniel Rittner, diretor editorial de Brasília, Lourival Sant'Anna, analista de Internacional, Christopher Garman, diretor-executivo da Eurasia Group, e Fernando Brancoli, professor de Geopolítica da UFRJ.

Over the past month, there have been two dominant stories in American foreign policy. One, of course, is the war with Iran. The other is the much-anticipated summit between President Trump and Xi Jinping of China. And I think if you look closely at both of these stories, you see that our foreign policy has entered into a period of absolute incoherence. I'm not even sure what the status of the Iran war is at this point. What is Trump trying to achieve? What is he willing to accept? Taking a more hawkish approach to China has been a core and consistent principle of Trump's since his first term. He's been insistent that China has taken advantage of the United States and that America needed to change that dynamic and flex more power. But is that happening? Is that even Trump's position anymore? So I wanted to do an episode looking at China and Iran and trying to assess Trump's foreign policy in general and the ways he's remaking what America means on the world stage.

The US-Israeli led war in Iran and the prolonged disruption in the Strait of Hormuz is once again exposing Europe's vulnerability to global energy shocks; raising urgent questions about gas storage, LNG dependency and whether governments have learned anything from previous crises.In this episode of PluggedIn, Montel's Richard speaks with Henning Gloystein from Eurasia Group and Saul Kavonic from MST Marquee about the escalating conflict and growing risks facing energy markets and global supply chains.Could shipping flows resume within weeks, or are market participants underestimating the possibility of years of disruption? The discussion explores fuel shortages, LNG price risks, Europe's storage dilemma, China's strategic positioning, and why many analysts believe the global economy is only beginning to feel the effects of the crisis.With competing forecasts and mounting geopolitical tensions, the episode examines what comes next for energy markets, and whether the world is prepared for a prolonged supply shock.#StraitOfHormuz #LNG #NaturalGas #OilMarkets #EnergyCrisis #GlobalEnergy #Geopolitics #EnergySecurity #GasMarkets #TTF #EnergyTransition #Iran #MiddleEast #ShippingCrisis #EnergyPodcast #Montel #PluggedInPodcast #OilAndGas #EuropeEnergy #LNGMarketsHost: Richard Sverrisson – Editor-in-Chief, Montel NewsGuests:Saul Kavonic, Head of Energy Research, MST MarqueeHenning Gloystein, Managing Director - Energy & Resources, Eurasia Group Editor: Alexandra CarlonProducer: Alexandra Carlon

Many contemporary talking heads take a pessimistic view of the future, but our guest today hopes to change this. Oz interviews Zachary Karabell, host of the podcast What Could Go Right? and founder of the Progress Network, about being an ‘edgy optimist’ and what that means for the future of humanity. After that, TechStuff presents an episode of What Could Go Right? featuring Ian Bremmer, the founder of Eurasia Group and GZERO Media. Together, Bremmer and Karabell discuss how the post-WW2 world order has changed over the years, whether social media is a tool for freedom or a mechanism for control, and why the current moment of global chaos may simply be part of a longer geopolitical cycle — one that, like all cycles, eventually turns.

Ian Bremmer (President and Founder, Eurasia Group and GZERO Media) joins Chris Cuomo to break down where the Iran war is actually heading — and why the short-term politics are masking a much more serious long-term problem. Bremmer walks through the state of the ceasefire talks, the role Jared Kushner is playing in negotiations, and why Trump now has marginally more leverage than he did in the first round — but still not enough to get a deal that holds. He and Cuomo debate whether the Abraham Accords were a genuine diplomatic achievement or a business arrangement that lined Kushner's pockets, and what that history means for trusting the current process. The conversation turns to the economic consequences that are already unfolding — semiconductor shortages, jet fuel supply chains, LNG infrastructure damage, and the Strait of Hormuz — and why Bremmer argues these will take years to work through regardless of how Trump announces an exit.

Rising tensions in the Middle East and a shifting political divide in the US take center stage. As Donald Trump extends a fragile ceasefire with Iran, questions grow over how the conflict will end - with Iran still controlling the Strait of Hormuz and US pressure ongoing. At the same time, public opinion in America is undergoing a dramatic shift. Support for Israel is declining across both parties, with more Americans now sympathizing with Palestinians than Israelis - an unprecedented change shaping the future of US politics. Tonight's debate captures that divide: lifelong Democrat Alan Dershowitz switches parties to defend Israel, while Republican Joe Kent breaks ranks over US ties to Israel and the Iran War. With potential 2028 contenders like Josh Shapiro and Rahm Emanuel weighing in, the political stakes couldn't be higher. How does the Iran conflict end and where does America stand on Israel now? Piers Morgan is joined by international relations scholar, Professor John Mearsheimer, author and legal scholar Alan Dershowitz, former director of the US National Counterterrorism Center, Joe Kent, and Ian Bremmer, president of the Eurasia Group.

What happens when the rules of the global game are being rewritten in real-time? Ian Bremmer, the founder of Eurasia Group and GZERO Media, joins host Zachary Karabell to discuss how to navigate a world defined by a "long geopolitical recession" and the erosion of the post-1945 order. From the escalating conflicts in the Middle East and the surprising vulnerabilities of the economic models in the Gulf to the "asymmetric war fighting" that allows drones to bring the global economy to its knees, this episode reckons with a world that seems to be disintegrating rather than coming together. Bremmer and Karabell explore why we aren't getting a better picture of what's happening on the ground in places like Iran and Yemen, and whether the "noise" of modern social media is a tool for freedom or a new mechanism for state control. As political revolutionaries rise and established media organizations downsize, Bremmer and Karabell ask: is our current information environment worse than it was 30 years ago, or can individuals still "sniff out" the truth? And: Is this the peak of global chaos, or just a cyclical trough before a new rebound? What Could Go Right? is produced by The Progress Network and Kaleidoscope.

The global order that shaped the past several decades is giving way to a more fragmented and uncertain world. Long-standing alliances are under strain, economic integration is giving way to competition, and geopolitical risk is once again a central driver of markets and policy. These shifts are not abstract. They are reshaping trade flows, disrupting supply chains, and contributing to volatility in energy markets and the broader economy—affecting everything from fuel prices to the cost of goods. So, how might great power competition, geopolitical fragmentation, artificial intelligence, and global instability redefine the international landscape? And what will that mean for policymakers, businesses, and the global energy system? This week's episode features a fireside chat between Jason Bordoff and Ian Bremmer from the Columbia Global Energy Summit 2026, which was hosted by the Center on Global Energy Policy at Columbia University SIPA and recorded earlier today. Jason and Ian examine the Iran crisis, the Islamabad talks, and the shifting dynamics of the Gulf region. They also address the "myth" of sovereign AI, China's strategy, and the deep structural concerns of global CEOs navigating today's volatility. Ian Bremmer is the president and founder of Eurasia Group, a geopolitical risk advisory firm, and GZERO Media, a digital media company providing coverage of international affairs. He is the author of eleven books, including his latest work, The Power of Crisis: How Three Threats—and Our Response—Will Change the World. Ian also teaches at Columbia University's School of International and Public Affairs. Credits: Hosted by Jason Bordoff and Bill Loveless. Produced by Mary Catherine O'Connor, Caroline Pitman, and Kyu Lee. Engineering by Gregory Vilfranc.

Ian Bremmer, Eurasia Group president and founder, discusses the recent US military blockade in the Strait of Hormuz, where 27 vessels have been directed to turn back. This move aims to increase economic pressure on Iran, although Bremmer notes that Iran currently benefits from higher oil prices and had previously seen a suspension of US oil sanctions. He speaks on "Bloomberg Open Interest."See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On today's episode, we'll discuss the recent meeting between Chinese leader Xi Jinping and KMT Chairwoman Cheng Li-wun, the first in a decade between a Chinese Communist Party General Secretary and a KMT Chair. Ms. Cheng was elected party chair only four months ago, and her top priority was to meet with Xi Jinping. She has not yet visited the United States, but says she intends to do so later this year. In their public statements, Xi Jinping and Cheng Li-wun highlighted several common themes, including opposition to Taiwan independence, support for the 1992 Consensus, shared history and Chinese heritage, that the two sides of the Taiwan Strait are one family, the importance of China's national rejuvenation, and the need to preserve peace and promote the peaceful development of cross-Strait relations. To discuss this historic meeting, I'm joined by Amanda Hsiao. Amanda is a director in Eurasia Group's China practice covering China's foreign policy and cross-strait relations.

Follow Forbes Newsroom  President Donald Trump announced the U.S. and Iran reached a temporary ceasefire on Tuesday night, less than two hours before his self-imposed deadline for Iran to open the Strait of Hormuz or "a whole civilization will die." Just one day later, Iran on Wednesday accused the U.S. of violating the ceasefire agreement and reportedly announced it closed the Strait of Hormuz. The White House said that what Iran is saying publicly about the closure is different what they are telling the Trump administration privately. Clayton Allen, the head of Eurasia Group's U.S. practice, joined "Forbes Newsroom" to discuss the "fragile" state of the ceasefire. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Gregory Brew of Eurasia Group joins Rory to discuss the potential collapse of the Carter Doctrine following a provocative social media post by President Trump regarding the security of the Persian Gulf. The discussion centers on the 1980 policy that committed the U.S. to using military force to protect the flow of oil, a guarantee that now appears to be evaporating as Trump signals an end to U.S. protection for global energy routes. With the Strait of Hormuz closed for over a month and oil prices soaring toward $200, the episode explores the "Unilateral Taco" scenario where Trump might abruptly end hostilities regardless of whether the waterway is reopened. Brew analyzes Iran's shift from a struggle for survival to a strategic effort to maximize gains and impose tolls, leveraging their functional control over the world's most critical maritime chokepoint. The conversation also breaks down the "hydraulic relationship" between energy prices and political pressure, specifically how Iran uses allies like the Houthis as a lever to keep prices high and force a U.S. de-escalation. Brew examines the precarious position of GCC nations and Israel, who face the risk of their territories becoming permanent "live fire zones" if the U.S. abandons its traditional security role. Finally, the episode questions what a post-war status quo looks like and whether the credibility of U.S. energy guarantees can ever be restored after such a fundamental shift in geopolitical priorities

As the United States and Israel attack military facilities across Iran, Tehran has been retaliating. But it has attacked Gulf countries more than it has targeted Israel. Why?

Michael speaks with Gregory Brew, Senior Analyst at the Eurasia Group and country analyst for Iran, about the high-stakes decision facing the Islamic Republic: "strikes or talks." Greg analyzes the upcoming diplomatic summit in Istanbul, where the U.S. is pushing for "maximalist concessions" regarding Iran's nuclear program, ballistic missile stockpile, and regional proxy networks like Hamas and Hezbollah. Greg also discusses the strategic leverage of the recent U.S. naval buildup in the Middle East and whether these talks are a deliberate pretext for military action against Tehran. Greg also breaks down Iran's internal "credibility crisis" and the future of regional stability. 

On Christmas Day, the United States launched a series of missile strikes in Nigeria, ostensibly against jihadist groups. In the weeks prior, Donald Trump had been claiming that Christians in Nigeria were being subjected to systematic attacks by such groups, and he framed these strikes as a "Christmas present" that killed jihadist leaders and destroyed terrorist camps. But that does not seem to have been the case. The strikes largely targeted an area in northwest Nigeria that is not home to any major jihadist group, and credible independent analysts have not found evidence of any deaths. Last week, a New York Times report found unexploded Tomahawk missiles lying in a field. So what is actually going on here? My guest today, Amaka Anku, is the head of Eurasia Group's Africa Practice. She was in Nigeria at the time of the strikes, which she said caused considerable bewilderment among Nigerians. We kick off by discussing what we know about the missile strikes and why the region targeted was politically convenient for both the American and Nigerian governments. We then have a longer conversation about what these American missile strikes say—and don't say—about Nigeria's multiple security challenges. Support the show! https://www.globaldispatches.org/

Reacting to President Trump's threats against Colombia, President Gustavo Petro hit back by vowing to "take up arms" to defend his country. Trump and Petro have clashed from the very start when Petro initially refused to take Venezuelan migrants Trump was deporting, then over the war in Gaza, and US military strikes against alleged drug-trafficking vessels. The US even suspended Petro's visa and sanctioned him last year. But could this really spiral into an American assault on Colombia? Juan Manuel Santos was the country's president for eight years until 2018, and he joins Christiane from there.   Also on today's show: Karim Sadjadpour, Senior Fellow, Carnegie Endowment for International Peace; Ian Bremmer, Founder and President, Eurasia Group & GZERO Media    Learn more about your ad choices.

2026 is a tipping point year, says Ian Bremmer, founder of Eurasia Group. Highlighting the top risks that await the world, he breaks down the US military extraction of Venezuela leader Nicolás Maduro and explains why US President Donald Trump's embrace of the “Donroe doctrine” kicks off the most uncertain geopolitical environment in decades. With stark insights on what's to come in Europe, Russia and China, this is a can't-miss look at the volatile world order.

On Monday, Venezuela's President Nicolás Maduro pleaded "not guilty" to charges brought against him by the Trump administration following his capture over the weekend in a U.S. operation. Maduro was arraigned on narco-terrorism, drug trafficking, and weapons charges. Following his arrest, some world leaders and Democrats in Congress have questioned the legality of removing Maduro from power. Former state and federal prosecutor Jim Trusty joins the Rundown to discuss the strength of the case against Maduro and whether other witnesses will cooperate. The arrest of Venezuela's Nicolás Maduro has sparked international backlash, emergency meetings at the United Nations, and condemnation from some U.S. allies. Supporters of President Trump's decision to greenlight Operation Absolute Resolve argue the move delivers a major blow not only to the country's drug networks, but also to American adversaries like Iran, Hezbollah, and China, which have expanded their presence in Venezuela and the region. Ian Bremmer, president and founder of the Eurasia Group, joins the Rundown to assess the challenges ahead—including the possibility of the U.S. using military force to secure offshore oil infrastructure and cut off Venezuela's exports—and how the Trump administration is reshaping American power and influence across the Western Hemisphere.
