Shaking the Global Order S4, Ep 2: Kahler on President Trump’s foreign policy actions including his conflicts in the Mideast and the Western Hemisphere

It is with great pleasure that I invited my colleague, Miles Kahler into the Virtual Studio for this episode of ‘Shaking the Global Order’, S4, Ep 2. With Miles in the Virtual Studio I was particularly interested in how he understands the conflicts that President Trump has engaged in, from: Ukraine, Venezuela and fairly evidently the US-Israel conflict with Iran and the current ceasefire in Gaza. What do all these actions say about Trump’s understanding of interstate relations and what he means when he speaks of ‘America First’. Miles is a research professor-in-residence and distinguished professor emeritus at American University’s School of International Service. Miles Kahler is also a nonresident scholar in the Global Order and Institutions Program at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace. Before joining the faculty of SIS, Kahler was Rohr Professor of Pacific International Relations and Distinguished Professor of Political Science at the University of California, San Diego.
