Brian Crombie Radio Hour - Epi 1341 - Donald Trump's Budget Priorities with Alexander Lanoszka

Brian interviews Alexander Lanoszka. Alexander is a Senior Fellow with the Macdonald-Laurier Institute, assistant professor in the Department of Political Science and the Balsillie School of International Affairs at the University of Waterloo in Canada and associate fellow at the UK-based Council on Geostrategy. His research addresses alliance politics and military strategy. He has published in leading peer-reviewed journals such as International Security, International Affairs, and Security Studies. Alexander Lanoszka talks about his article: “Donald Trump’s budget priorities are a sign of an insular America, not an imperial one!” He says: “Put simply, these budget priorities coupled with the neo-mercantilist and zero-sum rhetoric of the Trump administration on trade suggest a retrenchment to the Western Hemisphere, and a tacit recognition of Russian and Chinese claims to their alleged spheres of influence.”
