Trump’s New World Disorder with Adam Tooze and Ivan Krastev

The podcast explores the evolving relationship between America and Europe under the Trump administration, questioning the dismantling of Atlantic alliances and the future of liberal democracy. It highlights Trump's unorthodox approach to international relations, exemplified by his interest in purchasing Greenland and his imposition of tariffs, which are perceived as coercion. The discussion contrasts Western Europe's shock with Eastern Europe's apprehension, rooted in historical experiences. It further examines whether Trump's actions are strategically motivated, aiming to decouple Russia from China, or driven by a more personal desire for legacy and recognition. The conversation also touches on the role of race and demographics in shaping political anxieties and the potential for Europe to forge a new consensus in response to American policies.
