Taking over Greenland, turning Gaza into a US resort, switching sides over Ukraine - the world has faced a whirlwind of Trump initiatives in the opening weeks of his presidency, some madcap, some sinister. How are foreign leaders and diplomats supposed to deal with this? Is he serious? Or is he just trolling the international liberal establishment? Or a bit of both? Is it best to flatter the man in the White House and hope he can be persuaded to change his mind? Or should we write America off as a reliable ally, and rush to build our own defences? After the last 4 weeks, what will still be standing at the end of four years? Dr Maria Ryan, Associate Professor of American History at Nottingham University not to assume anything is off the table with Donald Trump.  Hosted on Acast.
