Why Europe needs to realise the truth about America
Where does Europe fit into the 21st century? Political scientist Professor Helen Thompson returns to the podcast to talk about the big picture for the global economy and international relations in the age of Trump's second term, China's rise and Europe's relative decline.
She talks to Hugh Linehan about the real significance of America's debt pile, Silicon Valley's shift to Trump, the future of NATO, the growing interest in controlling the Arctic and China's economic and technological rise. She argues that to build its own secure future, Europe needs to realise just how different a place America is - and always has been.
