EA on Irish Outlets: Why “Trump Blinked” on His Tariffs
I join John Bruni, host of The Focus, for a 72-minute tour of Donald Trump’s “chainsaw Presidency”, from the destruction of the US system to the breaking of American alliances to the chaos of tariffs.
I put the tour within a wider context of US relations with the rest of the world.
There was always a dangerous trap in the idea of the “West” and even the idea of the “liberal international order” that it had to be the US that leads them….
We are not just at the moment of perhaps the greatest challenge to the US system since 1865. We might be at one of those “hinge moments” globally where you will see the most significant changes to the international system since 1945.
Everybody is involved in this.
