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.

This production is part of Guardian Investigates and promotes the six-part series "The Birth Keepers." Danielle Stephens is credited as producer, Maz Ebtehaj as executive producer, and the episode is presented by Jonathan Freedland alongside Joseph Stieb.

The piece incorporates archival references from a range of outlets including BBC, CBS Mornings, CBS News, CNN, CTV News, NBC Montana, PBS Newshour, Politico, and Time magazine.
