From Venezuela to Greenland, the US has dominated global headlines one year into Trump’s second term. But what comes next, and how is the world reacting? Join Emma Ashford and Ryan Hass as we discuss these topics among others.
Council President and CEO Leslie Vinjamuri joins CNN from the World Economic Forum in Davos to unpack the rising tensions within the transatlantic partnership over Greenland.
"My fear is that this could lead to a very, very escalatory trade war," Council President and CEO Leslie Vinjamuri says of rising transatlantic tensions.
"We thought this would be a president who might be neoisolationist, who might be inclined toward restraint," Council President and CEO Leslie Vinjamuri says. "That is just not what we're seeing now. "
Trump's first foreign policy moves of the new year included invading Venezuela, threatening to coerce Greenland into becoming a US territory, and withdrawing the US from 66 international organizations.
"This administration wants to enlist its friends to help secure its dominance in the Western Hemisphere," Leslie Vinjamuri says. "It's also willing to push the boundaries of what we have come to see as normal, expected, legitimate, international behavior in order to secure that dominance."
