Ukraine's Very Bad Week, Venezuela Threatens War, the Dutch Trump, and 2024 Predictions
from Kellogg's Global Politics · host Anita Kellogg
There have been several big stories since we last recorded. We begin with Ukraine and the fight over continued aid and military support in the U.S. Congress. Then, tensions have been heating up between the Philippines and China in the South China Sea. What does this mean for the U.S.? Tensions are also rising in South America over a territorial dispute between Venezuela and Guyana. Will the U.S. need to intervene? Right-wing populists made another gain with the election of Geert Wilders in the Netherlands. As former residents of the country, we offer our perspective. Finally, we made some foreign policy predictions for the year ahead.
