The Real Reason Behind Trump’s Nasty Breakup with Europe
The podcast episode titled "The Real Reason Behind Trump’s Nasty Breakup with Europe," features a conversation between Jonathan Freedland and US military scholar Joseph Stieb. The discussion explores former President Trump’s critical view of Europe, which he described as weak and decaying, warning of a potential civilisational collapse due to immigration.
The episode also highlights the Trump administration’s national security strategy blueprint, which suggests that democracy may not remain a central priority for the White House as it had been under previous administrations.
