Leaders from across the globe are flooding him with congratulations and trying to get his ear on issues from the Middle East to Ukraine, to wide-ranging tariffs, and of course, the climate. All these topics that will be on the docket up at the G20 Summit in Brazil later this month, where host Brazilian President Lula will no doubt be seeing parallels between Trump's return and his own country's history with Jair Bolsonaro: a far-right politician known as "the Trump of the tropics" whose supporters stormed government buildings after he lost out on a second term.

David Sanger is the White House and National Security Correspondent for the New York Times, where he's worked for more than four decades and covered five American presidents.

About thirty years ago, the world seemed to be entering what President George H.W. Bush called “a new world order” – a world where capitalism was victorious, global trade would discourage countries from going to war, and authoritarianism would slowly give way to liberal democracy.  It hasn't worked out that way.  How did such a hopeful moment in history slip through our fingers? That's the subject of the book New Cold Wars: China's Rise, Russia's Invasion, and America's Struggle to Defend the West, by David E. Sanger, our guest on this Munk Dialogue. Sanger is the White House and National Security Correspondent for The New York Times, where he has worked as a reporter for more than four decades.  The host of the Munk Debates is Rudyard Griffiths.

In the decades following the collapse of the Soviet Union, U.S. foreign policy coalesced around the idea that Russia – and later China – would integrate into a western world order, leaving American power “fundamentally unchallenged.” But in fact, the military, economic and technological threats posed by those countries have drawn the U.S. toward a new cold war era – one that New York Times reporter David Sanger calls “more complex and dangerous” than we have confronted in nearly 100 years. We talk to Sanger, who's covered U.S. national security for decades, about why the U.S. misjudged threats to its power and how it might reshape its global influence. His new book is “New Cold Wars: China's Rise, Russia's Invasion, and America's Struggle to Defend the West.” Guests: David Sanger, White House and National Security Correspondent, New York Times

Jon Stewart unpacks Iran launching missiles at Israel and resident Civil War historian Donald Trump claiming to be the solution. Plus, with Trump's criminal trial beginning, Desi Lydic, Ronny Chieng, and Josh Johnson go head-to-head to decide which persecuted martyr he resembles most. Then, White House and National Security Correspondent, David E. Sanger, joins Jon to discuss his latest book, “New Cold Wars.” Sanger details how America's “arrogance” in the decades after the Cold War led to underestimating Russia's imperialistic plans, including its invasion of Ukraine, and how a similar pattern is unfolding with China. They also discuss how America's foreign policy track record might impact its role in simultaneous “new cold wars” with Russia and China.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this edition of Wilson Center NOW, we are joined by David Sanger, former Wilson Center Distinguished Fellow and White House and National Security Correspondent for the New York Times, and Mary Brooks, researcher, writer, documentarian, and former Wilson Center Public Policy Fellow. They discuss their new book, “New Cold Wars: China's Rise, Russia's Invasion, and America's Struggle to Defend the West.” The book is “an insider account of what happened as five presidents grappled with new foreign policy realities and moves rapidly through 30 years of Washington's dawning awareness of Vladimir Putin's and Xi Jinping's ambitions, cultivating in the Biden Administration's efforts to contain China's technological progress and push back on Russia's invasion of Ukraine.”

Despite the objections of lawmakers and some allied countries, the United States government is providing Ukraine with cluster bombs that the US itself hasn't used since 2003. The US says it's a necessary measure to help Ukraine protect itself — but the bombs, which are known to cause civilian deaths often, are banned by more than 100 countries. The Ukrainian government has promised that the weapons will not be used in populated areas, but there are already reports to the contrary. So has the US crossed an ethical line by sending these weapons to Ukraine?

The work she loved often kept NPR co-host Mary Louise Kelly from going to her kids' soccer games or other events. Whether it was because she was anchoring “All Things Considered” or in the field reporting from North Korea, Iraq or Ukraine, sometimes Kelly could not be on the sidelines. She kept saying she'd do better next year. And then she realized her oldest son was headed to college, and there were no more next years. So, she vowed to show up, whenever she could. We'll talk to Kelly about her new memoir, “It. Goes. So. Fast.: The Year of No Do-Overs” and explore what it means to be both a good reporter and a good parent. Guests: Mary Louise Kelly, co-host, NPR's "All Things Considered." Kelly's new memoir is titled "It. Goes. So. Fast.: The Year of No Do-Overs." Kelly is also a former National Security Correspondent for NPR.

Today's show begins with an extremely difficult conversation under highly unusual circumstances. Siamak Namazi is an Iranian-American businessman who has been imprisoned in Iran for over seven years. While several American detained in Iran have been released as part of prisoner swaps with the US -- Namazi's own father was released on medical grounds last October -- Siamak continues to languish in prison, even going on a week-long hunger strike back in January and writing a letter to President Biden. Now he tells Christiane he feels so alone, abandoned, and out of options that he's decided to come to us, hoping to beseech Biden to help him and other imprisoned Iranian Americans.  Next, to dig a little deeper into the plight of Namazi and his fellow American detainees, Christiane speaks with Johns Hopkins professor Vali Nasr, himself an Iranian American and formerly a senior adviser at the US State Department.  Also on today's show: Michael R.
