This is a conversation with Mujtaba Rahman. Mij is what you would call an insider of European politics. He leads the European section of the Eurasia Group and a big part of his job is to know what is going on behind the scenes, not just what you can read in the news but what European leaders really think, say and do when there are no cameras. And so it was a perfect opportunity to dive deep into European politics. We talked about whether Europe has a strategy for what do with Ukraine and Russia, what do European leaders really think about Donald Trump behind closed doors and how are they already preparing for Europe without the U.S. Or how likely is it that anti-establishment politicians in France, UK or Germany will dominate elections in the coming years and completely turn all those policies upside down. I think it's a fascinating conversation and it's always a pleasure to talk to someone who knows so much. ➡️ Join the community of geopolitics enthusiasts and gain access to exclusive content on PATREON: https://www.patreon.com/DecodingGeopolitics➡️ Sign up to my free geopolitics newsletter: https://stationzero.substack.com/Thank you Conducttr for sponsoring the podcast.

"Everybody understands the world is volatile, but they don't necessarily understand why it's volatile or how to deal with it," says Sean West, cofounder of Hence Technologies and author of the new book, Unruly: Fighting Back When Politics, AI, and Law Upend the Rules of Business. "Unruly is a play on words. ... The world is kind of ‘unruling.' The rules and norms that were developed during globalization are falling away." On this week's LawNext, West joins host Bob Ambrogi to discuss how the collision of geopolitics, technology, and legal shifts is creating unprecedented challenges for businesses of all sizes – and their legal advisors. Their conversation explores how businesses can turn volatility into opportunity, the importance of strategic legal counsel in this environment, and why companies of all sizes need access to geopolitical intelligence. They also discuss Hence's recent launch of Hence Global, an AI-powered platform designed to help businesses and their legal counsel manage geopolitical uncertainties by providing customized, real-time risk analysis and insights tailored to specific business roles and needs. West explains how the platform delivers personalized, role-specific intelligence that enables legal teams to better serve their clients and organizations in an increasingly uncertain world. Before cofounding Hence in 2020, West was global deputy CEO of Eurasia Group, a global affairs advisory firm, where he advised CEOs, general counsel and investors on geopolitical and legal risk. He is also a lecturer at the University of California, Berkeley, School of Law. Thank You To Our Sponsors This episode of LawNext is generously made possible by our sponsors.

O co přesně Donald Trump usiluje? Po jeho návratu k moci mnozí v obavách sledují chaos, jaký svým transakčním přístupem vyvolal na globálním hřišti, ale také narušování principů právního státu v samotné Americe. Stále častěji se objevují úvahy o tom, že se USA vydaly na cestu k autokracii. Jak to vidí přední americký politolog Ian Bremmer?

Chuck Todd is joined by geopolitical expert and Eurasia Group founder Ian Bremmer to unpack the global implications of President Donald Trump's efforts to reshape the international order.Chuck opens the episode by examining how Trump's use of tariffs and his zero-sum approach to foreign policy are dismantling decades of established U.S. trade and diplomatic norms.Ian then joins the conversation to assess the ripple effects of Trump's tariffs on global trade, how key U.S. allies and rivals are likely to respond, and whether China stands to benefit in the long run.He explains how Trump's policies may be inadvertently strengthening Xi Jinping, why the U.S. is ill-equipped to operate in a “law of the jungle” environment, and what kind of economic damage could be on the horizon.The discussion turns to the rise of anti-American sentiment abroad, the erosion of the rule of law at home, and why the economic fallout may disproportionately affect red states.They then take a global tour of hotspots: debating the prospects for a renewed nuclear deal with Iran, whether Turkey has fully slipped into autocracy, and the likelihood of a Russia-Ukraine ceasefire in 2025. To wrap up the episode, Chuck answers listener questions in the "Ask Chuck" segment.Timeline0:00 Introduction1:00 Trump is creating a new world order2:00 Trump has a zero-sum view of foreign policy4:00 Could Trump break with Putin over lack of ceasefire?6:00 Trump 2.0 and Trump 1.0 are completely different9:00 Ian Bremmer joins the show10:00 Has Trump broken the world economic order, or temporarily disrupted it?11:15 Countries will begin to de-risk away from the US13:30 Trump using emergency powers to unilaterally break international agreements18:00 China will become dominant in the old architecture built by the U.S.21:15 People voting for a second “Trump 1.0” and are getting something vastly different22:30 Instability will force unity on the EU23:30 Americans don't understand how good we have it*24:30 The future of power seems to lie with the autocracies and not the democracies25:30 Is Trump throwing a lifeline to Xi Jinping?29:30 The U.S. doesn't have the right political system to operate in the “law of the jungle”32:00 China's surveillance state will check any type of middle class uprising34:30 How different would things look if we had the TPP?38:00 How should companies navigate the uncertainty Trump is creating?39:30 Products from China are already becoming unavailable41:00 Companies are all lobbying for exemptions42:00 The hit to the US economy is going to be massive44:20 The rise of anti-American sentiment45:45 The first amendment only applies to citizens now?46:45 The hit to American tourism will be substantial48:00 Economic damage will hit red states the hardest49:30 Mexican government has been willing to cooperate51:45 Trump wants to cut a deal with Iran, even if it makes Israel unhappy54:20 Will Erdogan get away with smashing democracy in Turkey?56:15 What to make of the political turmoil in South Korea?58:00 Will Bolsanaro/Le Pen have their charges stick, or could they win office in the future?1:00:30 Biggest risks to the world?

« Chiến đấu đến cùng » khi bị tấn công, « đáp trả tương xứng thuế đối ứng » của Mỹ và áp dụng đúng phương pháp của Washington để bảo vệ quyền lợi : Trung Quốc đã chọn giải pháp đối đầu trong cuộc chiến thuế quan với chính quyền Trump. Trong chưa đầy một tuần lễ, Trung Quốc chuyển từ « thế thủ » sang « thế công ». Trên nguyên tắc, kể từ 0 giờ ngày 10/04/2025 hàng Mỹ nhập khẩu vào Hoa Lục bị đánh thuế 34 % « tương tự » như hàng « made in China » bán sang Hoa Kỳ.Chỉ 48 giờ sau màn trình diễn của Donald Trump ở Nhà Trắng, mở màn một cuộc chiến thương mại với toàn cầu, tại Bắc Kinh bộ Thương Mại « đáp lễ » bằng hàng rào quan thuế. Trung Quốc cho mở điều tra nhắm vào hơn một chục doanh nghiệp Mỹ và hạn chế xuất khẩu 7 kim loại hiếm thiết yếu cho công nghệ cao và thiết bị điện tử trong dự án sản xuất chiến đấu cơ đời mới F-47 vừa được Washington rầm rộ loan báo.Sau một dịp nghỉ cuối tuần dài ngày, quay lại thủ đô Washington tổng thống Hoa Kỳ nổi đóa thấy Bắc Kinh chọn giải pháp đối đầu. Donald Trump chỉ trích Trung Quốc đi « nhầm đường » và đòi tăng thêm 50 % thuế hải quan nhắm vào hàng « made in China », bên cạnh mức thuế 54 % sắp bị áp dụng từ 0 giờ ngày 09/04, theo giờ của Washington. Lập tức Bắc Kinh khẳng định « trong tư thế sẵn sàng, quyết đấu đến cùng ».Trung Quốc « de-risking » với Mỹ Cơ quan tư vấn Capital Economics, trụ sở tại Luân Đôn đánh giá, lãnh đạo Trung Quốc nhận thấy rằng « kinh tế nước này đủ vững chắc để cưỡng lại mọi thủ đoạn của Donald Trump ».Bên cạnh những lập luận mang tính tuyên truyền, giới tài chính đồng loạt cho rằng, « Trung Quốc đã rút kinh nghiệm từ cuộc chiến thương mại lần trước với chính quyền Trump và có những bước chuẩn bị kỹ hơn ».Kế hoạch Made in China 2025 của chủ tịch Tập Cận Bình đã đem lại những kết quả cụ thể : Trung Quốc dẫn đầu một số lĩnh vực công nghệ mới, không chỉ là « công xưởng sản xuất hàng rẻ » mà đã trực tiếp cạnh tranh với các đối thủ ở Hoa Kỳ từ ô tô điện đến trí tuệ nhân tạo. Công cụ thông minh DeepSeek made in China đã khiến thế giới công nghệ ở Thung Lũng Silicon choáng váng.Trong lĩnh vực vệ tinh không gian, tháng 11/2024 Brazil đã ký hợp đồng với Qiafan, một công ty khởi nghiệp « vô danh » lấn sân của Elon Musk cung cấp các dịch vụ vệ tinh Về công nghệ bán dẫn, Trung Quốc cũng không còn hoàn toàn lệ thuộc vào các nhà cung cấp phương Tây. Trong số các nhà sản xuất máy bay dân sự, Airbus của châu Âu và Boeing của Mỹ không còn trong thế độc quyền từ khi dòng Comac C919 của Trung Quốc bắt đầu xuất hiện… Một điểm khác nữa cho phép ông Tập Cận Bình tự tin lao vào cuộc đọ sức với Washington : Nhà cung cấp thiết bị viễn thông Hoa Vi vẫn tồn tại và thịnh vượng đó là trước các đòn trừng phạt liên tiếp của hai đời tổng thống Mỹ, Donald Trump và Joe Biden.Thị phần của Mỹ với Trung Quốc bị thu hẹpĐành rằng Trung Quốc vẫn là đối tác thương mại quan trọng thứ ba của Hoa Kỳ sau Mêhicô và Canada, nhưng nếu như hồi 2017, hơn 20 % kim ngạch xuất khẩu của Trung Quốc đổ về Mỹ, nay tỷ lệ đó rơi xuống còn chưa đầy 15 % theo các số liệu của Hải Quan Trung Quốc được tuần báo Anh The Economist trích dẫn. Nói cách khác về xuất nhập khẩu Trung Quốc ít lệ thuộc hơn vào Mỹ so với 8 năm về trước.Báo Nhật Nikkei Asia trích lời bà Vương Đan, giám đốc công ty tư vấn Eurasia Group trụ sở tại Singapour, hồi 2017 « tổng kim ngạch xuất khẩu của Trung Quốc sang Hoa Kỳ chiếm khoảng 4 % GDP, nay tỷ lệ này chỉ còn là 3 % ». Ngoài ra, để tiếp tục thâm nhập thị trường Mỹ, Bắc Kinh đã khai thác chiến lược « Trung Quốc +1 » qua một sô trung gian như Ấn Độ, hay Việt Nam và nhất là Mêhicô... Trong các khoản giao dịch hàng hóa Mỹ-Trung, cho đến hiện tại, Trung Quốc chủ yếu mua vào nông phẩm và năng lượng của Hoa Kỳ. Trước mắt, về dầu khí Bắc Kinh có thể trông cậy vào Nga. Về nông phẩm, ngũ cốc, Brazil và Achentina đã thu hẹp thị phần của các nông gia Hoa Kỳ, những thành phần cử tri ủng hộ Donald Trump.Đất hiếm, tiền tệ, công cụ pháp lý : những loại vũ khí trong tay Trung Quốc Kinh nghiệm từ « cuộc thương chiến lần thứ nhất » cũng do chính quyền Trump khởi động hồi 2018-2019 Trung Quốc đã tăng tốc chiến lược « tách rời khỏi » Hoa Kỳ cả về công nghệ lẫn thương mại. Và đó cũng là điểm khởi đầu cho phép nền kinh tế thứ hai toàn cầu không hề mặc cảm khi phải đương đầu với siêu cường số 1 thế giới. Do vậy Trung Quốc chuyển từ thế « thủ » sang thế tấn công ».Mỹ phụ thuộc vào đất hiếm để sản xuất các vật dụng kết nối, điện ô tô điện, vũ khí, vệ tinh... Do vậy, trong số các đòn đáp trả Donald Trump « Giải Phóng » Hoa Kỳ, Bắc Kinh đã loan báo thông báo « hạn chế » xuất khẩu 7 kim loại hiếm sang Mỹ.Một công cụ khác trong tay Bắc Kinh là phá giá đồng tiền quốc gia để hàng Trung Quốc xuất khẩu sang Mỹ vẫn hấp dẫn. Ngân Hàng Trung Ương đang hướng tới giải pháp này.Thế rồi Trung Quốc cũng dùng lá bài « an ninh quốc gia » để điều tra các tập đoàn Mỹ xuất khẩu một số mặt hàng « lưỡng dụng » sang Hoa Lục, cũng khai thác công cụ pháp lý « chống cạnh tranh bất bình đẳng » để trừng phạt các doanh nghiệp của Hoa Kỳ. Điều đó không cấm cản các giới chức Bắc Kinh vẫn khẳng định Trung Quốc là một « mảnh đất màu mỡ cho các nhà đầu tư quốc tế »Chiến tranh tâm lý Vào lúc tại Hoa Kỳ, giới đầu tư « nhốn nháo » vì chính sách thuế quan của Donald Trump, nhiều nhà tỷ phú hàng đầu (Bill Ackmann, Larry Fink ..), những người từng ủng hộ ông Trump trong cuộc tranh cử tổng thống 2024 kêu gọi Washington « dừng tay » thì thứ trưởng Thương Mại Trung Quốc tiếp đại diện nhiều tập đoàn Mỹ như của hãng xe Tesla hay tập đoàn bảo hiểm GE Healthcare…Ông Lăng Kích (Ling Jie) đưa ra thông điệp : Trung Quốc là « điểm đầu tư lý tưởng, an toàn và đầy hứa hẹn với các tập đoàn nước ngoài, với các doanh nghiệp của Mỹ ». So với thời điểm hôm 20/01/2025, ngày ông tổng thống Trump nhậm chức, 180 tỷ đô la tài sản của ba doanh nhân Mỹ giàu nhất hành tinh đã tan thành mây khói. Cổ phiếu của tập đoàn Apple mất giá trong nhiều phiên giao dịch liên tiếp từ khi Nhà Trắng loan báo áp thuế 34 % hàng từ Trung Quốc nhập khẩu sang Hoa Kỳ, do 85 % các sản phẩm mang nhãn hiệu quả táo do nhân công Trung Quốc tạo ra để cung phục vụ các khách hàng Mỹ. Cũng chính vì biện pháp thuế sắp tới của tổng thống Trump mà dân Mỹ đua nhau sắm điện thoại thông minh trước khi giá mỗi chiếc iPhone trên thị trường đắt thêm từ 200 đến 300 đô la.Vỏ quýt dầy, móng tay nhọn Song bên cạnh những tuyên bố mạnh mẽ cả từ phía Bắc Kinh lẫn Washington, thực tế không thể chối cãi là tổng thống Mỹ đã mở một cuộc thương chiến với toàn cầu Trung Quốc là mục tiêu chính bị nhắm tới. Thiệt hại đầu tiên hết và nghiêm trọng nhất đè nặng lên hai nước liên quan. Nhà Trung Quốc học Valérie Niquet, thuộc Quỹ Nghiên Cứu Chiến Lược của Pháp nhấn mạnh đến điểm kẹt của Bắc Kinh trong cuộc đọ sức này :« Từ lâu nay ai cũng biết Trung Quốc bị thiệt hai nhiều trong cuộc đọ sức với Hoa Kỳ. Tập Cận Bình và những người tiền nhiệm đã đề ra mục tiêu điều chỉnh lại và lấy lại cân bằng trong mô hình phát triển, để cỗ máy sản xuất ít ngốn năng lượng hơn, để tiêu thụ nội địa là lực đẩy cho tăng trưởng của Trung Quốc. Nhưng từ đó đến nay, Bắc Kinh vẫn chưa thực hiện được mục tiêu này. Trung Quốc kỳ vọng bơt bị phụ thuộc vào xuất khẩu nhưng cho đến hiện tại thì xuất khẩu vẫn là đầu tàu kinh tế và Trung Quốc phụ thuộc nhiều hơn vào các thị trường nước ngoài, nhất là hai thị trường phát triển nhất là Mỹ và châu Âu. Nếu Hoa Kỳ đóng cửa thị trường, thì tác động đầu tiên đè năng lên người tiêu dùng ở Mỹ nhưng Trung Quốc cũng bị vạ lây »Nguy cơ bấn ổn nội địa Trung Quốc Cuộc chiến thương mại phiên bản 2 của ông Trump nổ ra vào lúc kinh tế Trung Quốc vẫn chưa phục hồi sau đại dịch COVID 19 và chưa thoát khỏi khủng hoảng địa ốc kéo dài. Valérie Niquet :« Chiến tranh kinh tế gia tăng cường độ giữa hai siêu cường thế giới này đã bắt đầu dẫn tới những hệ quả đối với toàn cầu chứ không chỉ giới hạn ở Hoa Kỳ và Trung Quốc. Bắc Kinh đã có các biện pháp trả đũa : áp thuế 34 % lên tất cả các mặt hàng Mỹ như đã loan báo. Tuy nhiên nếu chúng ta nhìn vào các sản phẩm của Trung Quốc bán sang Hoa Kỳ thì tổng cộng hàng Trung Quốc bị đánh thuế hải quan hơn 60 %. Không mấy khi tôi bênh vực cho Trung Quốc, nhưng phải công nhận rằng, mức thuế này là quá nặng và bị tung ra vào thời điểm bất lợi cho Trung Quốc. Kinh tế nước này đang đình đốn và từ nhiều năm qua, Trung Quốc vẫn chưa hoàn thành mục tiêu tăng tiêu thụ nội địa để bớt phụ thuộc vào xuất khẩu như vừa nói. Thành thử quyết định của Washington tuần trước, có nguy cơ gây bất ổn trong xã hội Trung Quốc và nguy cơ này là rất, rất lớn » .Tác động đối với Trung Quốc cũng sẽ mạnh hơn so với cuộc chiến thương mại hồi 2018-2019 do Hoa Kỳ cũng đã rút kinh nghiệm trong thương lượng với Bắc Kinh. Trong kế hoạch thuế quan lần này, châu Á là khu vực bị đánh nặng nhất. François Monnier, tổng biên tập tuần báo Investir chuyên về đầu tư :« Chúng ta thấy rõ mục tiêu của Donald Trump là để chuẩn bị cho một cuộc đối đầu với Trung Quốc. Chính vì thế mà Washington đánh thuế rất nặng vào các nước châu Á : Trung Quốc bị 34 % nhưng các nước châu Á khác cũng chịu mức thuế rất cao, tránh để Bắc Kinh sử dụng lại chiến lược Trung Quốc + 1, tức là di dời sản xuất sang các quốc gia chung quanh. Chúng ta thấy Việt Nam bị đánh thuế 46 %. Ở nhiệm kỳ đầu chính quyền Trump đã phạm phải sai lầm chỉ tập trung vào Trung Quốc và do vậy mà các doanh nghiệp nước này chuyển hướng đầu tư sang Việt Nam để từ Việt Nam, xuất khẩu sang Hoa Kỳ. Lần này chúng ta thấy Mỹ tấn công một cách toàn diện vào châu Á ». Ngày 30/03/2025 các quan chức cao cấp ba nước Trung Quốc, Hàn Quốc và Nhật Bản, ba nhà vô địch về xuất khẩu của châu Á họp tại Seoul và bàn về kế hoạch « hợp tác », hướng tới một « khu vực tự do mậu dịch » ba bên. Như thể dưới tác động của « trận bão » mang tên Trump, Tokyo, Bắc Kinh và Seoul tạm gạt sang một bên các bất đồng để cứu nguy kinh tế.Cũng dưới tác động của « Ngày Giải Phóng », Washington tạo cơ hội để Liên Hiệp Châu Âu và Trung Quốc tìm được một sân chơi chung. Thủ tướng Lý Cường và chủ tịch Ủy Ban Châu Âu, Ursula Von der Leyen trong cuộc điện đàm hôm 08/04 đã nhấn mạnh đến « trách nhiệm của Liên Âu tránh gây thêm căng thẳng thương mại toàn cầu ». Đây cũng có thể là cơ hội để làm sống lại thỏa thuận đầu tư mà Bruxelles và Bắc Kinh đã ký vội vào cuối 2020 nhưng từ đó đến này hoàn toàn bị lãng quên. Sau cùng như báo The Economist nhận định chính sách thuế quan của ông Trump đẩy lạm phát ở Hoa Kỳ lên cao, dân Mỹ càng khó cai nghiện « hàng rẻ Trung Quốc »Nhưng Trung Quốc ý thức rằng, chiến tranh thương mại Washington khai mào có sức công phá rất lớn nếu như Donald Trump hủy hoại kinh tế Hoa Kỳ. Nền kinh tế số 1 thế giới bị đình đốn hay suy thoái thì sẽ là « một thảm họa » với hàng ngàn, hàng chục ngàn công ty Trung Quốc gia công cho các hãng của Mỹ. Các nhà xuất khẩu Trung Quốc cũng bị kéo vào vòng xoáy khủng hoảng vì cho đến nay chưa một thị trường nào trên thế giới, kể cả tại 27 nước Liên Âu có được sức mua mạnh như của 350 triệu dân Mỹ.
2 April 2025 will go down in history, of that there is no doubt. US President Trump and his team insist this is because it was, as they termed it, “Liberation Day” from the global intertwined trade system, in which the US imposed shockingly high tariffs on all its trading partners, excluding Russia and Belarus. Nearly every other state appear to be appalled by this move — because it will harm each of them and their people and they find it incredible that the US, the leader of the free world and the global trading system for the past eight decades, appears to be the one destroying it.The immediate effects of the tariff decision have quickly become obvious: global markets plunged, but especially those in the US; all states and regions are contemplating reactions, and retaliations. And above all, the credibility of the US has taken a big hit. Indeed, if there is a title to the Trump playbook it seems to be "How to Disrupt the World While Undermining Yourself, Potentially Strengthening Your Opponents and Alienating Your Allies."To discuss the tariffs, the playbook, the effects and the state of the global economy, Ilana Bet-El is joined by Rebecca Christie, Senior Fellow at Bruegel and Lauren Gloudeman, Director of the China programme at Eurasia Group. In a searching conversation, they clarify much about the tariff shock, the options open to the EU and China, the effects in the US, and potentials for the future.Recorded on 3 April 2025ChaptersA new global trade world launched by Trump?How US tarrifs impact China, EU and global markets?Are Trump' tariffs a strategy or a gamble?China's and Europe's responses to TrumpWhat next for global trade?MentionsEurasia & BruegelThe Sound of Economics - last episode“Tariffs and trade wars”“Did tariffs contribute to the Great Depression?"NPR , 1930s tariff war Trump calculationsFollowLauren Gloudeman Eurasia group pageRebecca Christie X/Twitter, BlueskyInstagramELNCreditsFlorence FerrandoMusic: Let Good Times Roll, RA from #Uppbeat Hosted on Acast.

In this episode, Vance Crowe and guest Jacob Shapiro into the evolving geopolitical landscape, focusing on the shifting dynamics between the United States and Europe. The discussion begins with the recent statements by U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegsek, indicating a deprioritization of European security in favor of addressing issues like migration and the perceived threat from China. This shift is further highlighted by President Trump's unexpected communication with Vladimir Putin, bypassing European and Ukrainian leaders, signaling a potential change in U.S. foreign policy.We also explore the controversial remarks by JD Vance at the Munich Security Conference, which sparked a strong reaction from the German defense minister, and the implications of these developments on the transatlantic partnership. The conversation touches on the historical context of U.S.-Europe relations and the potential consequences of a more self-reliant and militarized Europe.Our guest, Jacob Shapiro, Director of Research at the Bespoke Group, shares insights into his role in managing generational wealth and the importance of geopolitical analysis in investment strategies.

Europe's energy sector is caught in the crossfire of rising populism. With elections approaching in Norway and Germany, governments are under pressure to prioritize short-term price stability over long-term market efficiency. Norway's decision to impose fixed electricity prices has sparked concerns about weakened price signals and energy market fragmentation. Meanwhile, in Germany, the far-right AfD is gaining ground, threatening the country's renewable energy expansion and interconnectivity with neighbours.This week, Plugged In comes to you from Essen at the E-World Energy & Water trade fair, where the future of Europe's energy markets hangs in the balance. Montel's Siobhan Hall sets the scene before we hear from Hanns Koenig, Managing Director for Central Europe at Aurora Energy Research, and Amund Vik, former Norwegian deputy minister for petroleum and energy.We discuss Norway's shift toward energy protectionism, the growing backlash against renewables, the risks of fixed electricity pricing, and whether Europe's integrated energy market is at risk of political unravelling.Host: Richard Sverrisson - Editor-in-Chief, Montel.Guests: Hanns Koenig, Managing Director for Central Europe at Aurora Energy Research; Amund Vik, Senior Advisor, Eurasia Group; Stephen Woodhouse, Director, Afry; Siobhan Hall, Brussels Correspondent, Montel NewsPodcast editor: Bled Maliqi, Montel.

Every year, he delivers his highly anticipated Top Risks report and says 2025 will be a uniquely dangerous year with very few international leaders stepping up to take the wheel and drive a global agenda and maintain international order.

Jimmy Carter (1924-2024) was hailed as an exemplary leader on human rights whose presidency was ruined by crises outside his control, none worse than the hostage crisis in Iran. This favorable view elides critical events that took place during the years before the U.S. embassy was seized in Tehran in Nov. 1979. President Carter acted like the previous presidents he had criticized. He embraced the brutal Shah of Iran, sold him weapons, and stuck with him to the very end. Then the Carter administration avoided making contact with Iran's new revolutionary, Islamist leaders headed by the Ayatollah Khomeini. What if Carter had made different moves? Would U.S.-Iran relations be different today? In this episode, historian and Eurasia Group senior analyst Gregory Brew delves into the Cold War origins of the U.S.-Iran relationship and why Jimmy Carter made a human rights exception for the Shah.

2025 ushers in one of the most dangerous periods in world history — on par with the 1930s and early Cold War, says Ian Bremmer, president and founder of Eurasia Group and GZERO Media. Highlighting the top geopolitical risks for the year ahead, Bremmer explores the impact of Donald Trump's return to power in the US, the breakdown of the US-China relationship, the consequences of a rogue Russia, the future of unchecked AI development and more, plus some bright spots amid these unprecedented challenges.

On the GZERO World Podcast, we're taking a look at some of the top geopolitical risks of 2025. This looks to be the year that the G-Zero wins. As longtime listeners will know, a G-Zero world is an era when no one power or group of powers is both willing and able to drive a global agenda and maintain international order. We've been living with this lack of international leadership for nearly a decade now. But in 2025, the problem will get a lot worse. We are heading back to the law of the jungle. A world where the strongest do what they can while the weakest are condemned to suffer what they must. And the former—whether states, companies, or individuals—can't be trusted to act in the interest of those they have power over. It's not a sustainable trajectory. But it's the one we're on.

It's News Day Tuesday! Emma speaks with Gregory Brew, analyst with the Eurasia Group's Energy, Climate, & Resources Team, to discuss the fluid situation in Syria now that rebels have taken control of Damascus. Then, she speaks with Thomas Birmingham, reporter and intern at The Nation based in New Haven, to discuss his recent piece entitled "In the US, Tenants Are Usually on Their Own. Can a New National Tenant Union Change That?." First, Emma runs through updates on the charging of the United Healthcare CEO killer, Pete Hegseth's nomination, Lara Trump's future in politics, Pete Buttigieg's potential governor run in Michigan, Tulsi Gabbard's nomination, Bibi Netanyahu's corruption case, Ukraine's defense, Democratic leadership, Boeing layoffs, and wildfires in Malibu, before touching on developing succession drama in the Murdoch family and the right-wing media's response to the killing of United Healthcare's CEO. Gregory Brew then joins, first providing the context of the deep domestic unpopularity of Assad's late Russia- and Iran-backed regime, then diving deep into the filling of the vacuum in the wake of his departure, with Hayat Tahrir al-Sham – the Islamist militant rebel group that just deposed of Assad's regime – still in control in Damascus while Kurds in the east continue to fight a Syrian National Army backed by an anti-Kurdish Turkey, all coinciding with US pressure against a potential ISIS resurgence. Next, Brew looks to the biggest winners and losers outside of Syria, with the collapse of the Assad regime dramatically decreasing Iranian and Russian influence in the region – with the former not seeming too displeased amid an already-crumbling relationship with Assad – while substantially raising the status of the likes of Israel. Thomas Birmingham then joins, jumping right into the major success of Bozeman Tenants United – the Montana city's tenant's union – and their role in an ongoing attempt to organize the National Tenant Union Federation, alongside tenant unions in Chicago, Kansas City Louisville, and Connecticut, with those in Kentucky and Montana providing a particularly valuable blueprint for successful progressive, working-class organizing in deep-red states. Expanding on the work Bozeman Tenants United engages in, Birmingham walks through the story of Ozaa Echo Maker as an example of how these organizing efforts work to bring marginalized and politically uninvolved people into politics, providing them a voice and showcasing genuinely democratic models of leadership, also touching on the extensive work BTU does locally, from pushing for tenant property ownership to building their electoral power and representation on city council, to defend renters' contract rights. Wrapping up, Thomas and Emma discuss Biden's role in pushing back against corporate landlords at the tail-end of his tenure and the importance of showcasing proper tenant power as this fight continues. And in the Fun Half: Emma and the MR Team talk with Jason from DC about the fallacy of bringing a populist right out of the Trump Administration, Lindsay Graham vocalizes his support for Tulsi Gabbard, and the crew unpacks developments in the arrest United Healthcare CEO's killer – with some help addressing the “death of a villain” narrative around this story from Ava in Miami.

Joe Biden's final foreign trip as President was a long-promised visit to sub-Saharan Africa—Angola, to be precise. Biden had pledged to be the first President to visit Africa in nearly a decade, but the trip was delayed and is only happening with just a few weeks left in his term. Still, the trip was intended to solidify at least one part of the Biden administration's legacy: a major infrastructure project called the Lobito Corridor. This rail line links the mineral-rich regions of the Democratic Republic of Congo to a port on Angola's Atlantic coast. A key question now is whether this legacy will survive the incoming Trump administration. How might the Trump administration's approach to Africa differ, if at all, from that of the outgoing Biden administration? Joining me to answer these questions—and many more—is Ziyanda Stuurman, Senior Analyst for Africa at the Eurasia Group. We begin by discussing why Angola is well-suited for a major American investment like the Lobito Corridor and then dive into a wide-ranging conversation about how this investment fits into the geopolitical competition between China and the United States, as well as what might—or might not—change about U.S. policy toward Africa under the new administration.
President Biden made a historic trip to Angola last week, fulfilling a first-term pledge to visit Africa and becoming the first sitting President to visit the country. While there, the President met with regional leaders and announced more than $1 billion in U.S. assistance -- aiming to strengthen relations in the region and combat China's growing influence. Head of the Eurasia Group's Africa practice, Amaka Anku, weighs in on the importance of America and Africa's relationship, and if it will continue to develop under the Trump Administration. President-elect Donald Trump made headlines with his proposed tariffs for Canada, China, and Mexico. Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau met with the President-elect earlier in the week amidst fears that new tariffs could hurt Canada's economy. But what exactly are tariffs, and how have they been used in the past? FOX News Contributor and former Deputy Chief of Staff to President George W. Bush Karl Rove answers those questions and more.

With just a few weeks left before the 119th Congress is sworn in, the 118th Congress still has a few more agenda items. FOX News Senior Congressional Correspondent Chad Pergram notes that with a slim Republican majority, and major items on the table, it is certainly not "the most wonderful time of the year" on Capitol Hill. As AI takes the world by storm, political leaders are wary of the political, economic, and social challenges that could come from its widespread usage. We revisit a conversation with President and founder of Eurasia Group, Ian Bremmer discussing the importance of seeking international cooperation on the issue. Learn more about your ad choices.

Trump's election can be interpreted as a change election, signaling the rejection of things as they were. But what does all this change mean for the world?
