Trump is Back in Power: What it Means for the Rest of the World

In this episode of The Round Room, we’re broadcasting from Barcelona, Spain, bringing a global lens to U.S. politics. As Donald Trump begins his second term as America’s 47th president, we analyze his foreign policy: Is it truly isolationist, or does it follow the “Madman Theory”? We break down his impact on immigration, international trade, climate agreements, and global diplomacy—covering NATO, Israel-Palestine, and China. Plus, we examine his early executive actions, including the TikTok ban and proposed tariffs. Join us for a deep dive into how Trump’s return to power is reshaping the world.We would love to thank our writing team who put together the script for this episode: Styx Hatch, Audrey Collison, Iselin Bratz, Ivan Andarza, Mathew Olaince, and Sadie Scholl .
