This week's episode of The Beacon explores President Trump's approach to foreign policy. Questioning how far Trump's election represents a turning for US foreign policy, and aiming to get behind the meaning of "America First", Lydie Sheehan speaks to Dr Jacob Parakilas, Assistant Head of the US and Americas Programme at Chatham House, and Dr Charles Krauthammer, a political commentator for the Washington Post and Fox News.

Leslie Vinjamuri and Jacob Parakilas speak with Josh Lowe and Mirren Gidda explore the biggest news story of 2016. Donald Trump didn't win the election on policy. His rhetoric spoke to sections of the electorate who felt they had been ignored. He promised these people he would "make America great again." They thought that was a great idea and put him in the White House. But now Trump has to actually come good. Faced at home with a divided country and abroad with a newly confident Russia and a mandate for trade renegotiations with China, the property mogul must head into the fray with next to no political experience. So what will he do? What policies will he prioritise? Will he row back on his controversial views about Putin and free trade? Can he heal a nation torn asunder?

The day everyone has been anticipating - or dreading - has finally come. Today it will be decided who becomes the next President of the United States. With comparisons between the election and the EU referendum being thrown around everywhere in the press and indeed by Trump, the self-proclaimed "Mr. Brexit" himself, we decided to shed some light on the situation with the help of Dr Jacob Parakilas, a researcher and assistant head of the US and the Americas Programme at The Royal Institute of International Affairs Chatham House. He walks us through parallels between core messaging, voter demographic and polling results and gives us his take on whether Trump will pull off a Brexit-style surprise win and what that would mean for the UK. #Podcast #Brexit #BrexitPodcast #Referendum #EUReferendum #VoteLeave #VoteRemain #VoteIn #EU #UK #TimHeming #JenniferHahn #News #Politics #accesshollywood #donaldtrump #trump #clinton #hillaryclinton #uselections #elections #america #chathamhouse #globalisation #internationalaffairs #jacobparakilas #makeamericagreatagain #takebackcontrol #strongertogether #strongerin #conservative #tory #labour #nationalism #voterfraud #whiteworkingclass

Heather Williams and Jacob Parakilas are on Newsweek's Foreign Service this week as they look at Russian President Vladimir Putin's attempts to influence the political processes in Europe and the U.S. Much has been made of Donald Trump's support for Putin, though the pair maintain that they have no direct relationship, their seeming closeness has prompted questions. Over in Europe, Putin has lent his support to far-right and far-left parties who tend to be anti-EU. So, what is Putin's eventual aim for both the U.S. and Europe, and how influential is he really? Heather Williams is a lecturer at King's College London with a focus on US-Russian relations and nuclear policies, and Jacob Parakilas is assistant head of the U.S. and the Americas program at the U.K. think-tank, Chatham House.
