This week marks the first 100 days of President Trump's second term. From dismantling key alliances and trade agreements to sidelining democratic values and global institutions, are Trump's actions rapidly unraveling the post-WWII world order and 80 years of American-led international leadership? What does this mean for US influence, global stability, and the trust of allies? Stefanie Bolzen, Bobby Ghosh, and Philip Stephens join Ivo Daalder on World Review this week for a candid conversation about this pivotal moment in history. They'll also discuss updates on European defense, the Iran nuclear deal, and Canada's election results.

This week Russia hints at openness to a cease-fire in Ukraine but with tough conditions—stalling tactic or real breakthrough? Meanwhile, European allies increasingly see President Trump as a growing security threat, raising questions about reliance on the US and the impact on nuclear deterrence. And a judge rules President Trump overstepped by freezing USAID funds but stops short of ordering the revival of canceled programs. How is the dismantling of US foreign aid affecting the world's most vulnerable populations and what impact is it already having on America's global influence and security? Susan Glasser, Anton La Guardia, and Philip Stephens join Ivo Daalder this week on World Review to break it all down. 

In this episode, we unpack the first major global stories of 2025. Donald Trump's expansionist rhetoric this week toward Greenland and Panama reflects his “America First” doctrine and risks violating international law, alienating allies, and deepening global tensions. How serious is he? Meanwhile, tech titans Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg stir misinformation controversies. What does Musk hope to gain by targeting European leaders, including UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer, with unverified allegations? And what impact will Meta's decision to discontinue third-party fact-checking have on democracy? Ravi Agrawal, Susan Glasser, and Philip Stephens join Ivo Daalder to discuss the wild start to 2025 and what, if anything, might surprise them this year.

In the year since Hamas attacked Israel on October 7, the conflict between Israel, Iran, and Hezbollah has gradually escalated, leading the region to the brink of war. Israel ramped up its attacks across the Middle East in recent weeks, bombing Yemen and Lebanon and killing Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah. In retaliation, Iran launched 200 missiles towards Israel this week. Fears of a wider war in the Middle East are now rapidly growing, with questions of where this war could lead and whether the United States could become more involved. Peter Spiegel, Philip Stephens, and Nahal Toosi join World Review with Ivo Daalder to analyze the multiple aspects of war in the Middle East.

Last week's attack on Crocus City Hall was Russia's deadliest terror attack in almost two decades, killing at least 137 people. The Islamic State took responsibility for the attack, yet Putin suggested Ukraine and the West had a role, connecting it to the war in Ukraine. Meanwhile, the United Nations Security Council approved a Gaza ceasefire resolution as the United States abstains, upsetting Netanyahu and prompting Israel to cancel a delegation visit to Washington and pull out of hostage talks. Matt Kaminski, Catherine Philp, and Philip Stephens join the Council's Ivo Daalder to discuss these issues.

Due to the struggling war effort, President Zelensky is considering replacing Ukraine's military and political leadership. Meanwhile, in Washington, Congress is beginning to search for alternative routes to pass aid to Ukraine.

The Council's Ivo Daalder dives in with Laura Barrón-López, and Philip Stephens on World Review.

Plus, tensions have escalated between Serbia and Kosovo, with some warning things could turn violent. And frictions between Canada and India have deepened over the murder of a Canadian Sikh. The Council's Ivo Daalder dives in with Steven Erlanger, Carla Anne Robbins, and Philip Stephens on World Review.

Intense heat is moving across the United States, Europe, and parts of Asia as wildfires rage and historic high temperatures are forecasted to continues for weeks. Meanwhile, Russia withdraws from the Black Sea grain deal and intensifies military attacks across Ukraine. And China's economy falters, posing challenges for Xi Jinping and the global economy.

Secretary of State Antony Blinken and China's Xi Jinping both expressed satisfaction with the progress made during Blinken's long-anticipated trip to Beijing. Plus, will Germany's new national security strategy accomplish its goals? Bethany Allen-Ebrahimian, Steven Erlanger, and Philip Stephens analyze the key takeaways on World Review with Ivo.

CFR's Carla Anne Robbins guest hosts World Review with Nirmal Ghosh, Stefan Kornelius, and Philip Stephens to discuss.

Donald Trump has been indicted on 34 felony counts, the first criminal charges to be brought against a former president. What does this mean for America's global standing and the future of its criminal justice system? Meanwhile, Emmanuel Macron and Ursula von der Leyen head to China and Taiwanese President Tsai Ing-wen meets with House Speaker Kevin McCarthy. Plus, Northern Ireland marks 25 years since the Good Friday Agreement. Council President Ivo Daalder tackles these issues with Deborah Amos, Nirmal Ghosh, and Philip Stephens on World Review.  

Continuing violence and Netanyahu's bid to limit judicial powers loomed over Antony Blinken's visit to Israel this week, bringing to light a tonal shift in the US-Israel relationship. Meanwhile, Britain faces still more scandals three years on from Brexit.

As Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping meet in Uzbekistan, does their nations' partnership truly have “no limits”? What does Queen Elizabeth II's passing mean for the United Kingdom, the Commonwealth, and Britain's global role? And what might Ukrainian gains on the battlefield mean for the war's outcome and for continued Western support of Kyiv?

This podcast recorded before the impeachment vote. As Republicans distance themselves in horror from Donald Trump’s violent sedition, can we finally conclude that yes, he was a fascist all along? Will the GOP or Johnson pay any price for their years of fawning before Agent Orange? Special guest Philip Stephens of the Financial Times joins us to talk about his new book Britain Alone: The Path from Suez to Brexit and the strange psychodrama of Britain’s search for a foreign policy identity.

He was unable to deliver it.” – Ian Dunt“Cabinet ministers just don’t know what it’s like to run out of money on a Thursday.” – Philip Stephens“The most vital thing we need in the next few years is for the Right to start policing its own norms.” – Ian Dunt“Blair would tell us pro-European journalists that he was absolutely pro-EU that we were going to join the Euro. And then he’d tell Trevor Kavanagh from The Sun that we’d never, ever give up sterling…” – Philip StephensPresented by Dorian Lynskey with Yasmeen Serhan and Ian Dunt. Produced by Andrew Harrison.
