The US-led roller coaster and what it means for everyone stuck on it (including us)

Friday, 7 March 2025 - 10:00am to 10:30am

Jacques and Jennifer talk about the recent roller coaster of international events, led by US President Trump. Chief among these are the incredible public shouting match between the US Trump-Vance duo and Ukrainian Presient Zelensky, and Trump's idea for the Palestinians to evacuate Gaza permanently giving up their land for a high-priced seaside resort.

Overall, the US has dropped its mask of benevolent keeper of world order, and its blatant self-interest has been laid bare - which places onus on other formerly-compliant nations to respond, including Europe and Australia.
