Why the World Next Week Matters
from Why It Matters Hosted by Council on Foreign Relations
Tumultuous events have rocked the last four years: the COVID-19 pandemic, Europe’s largest land war in eighty years, and an escalating Middle Eastern conflict between Israel and Iran-backed forces. On top of that, the United States faces an intensifying geopolitical struggle with China and Russia. Now, U.S. President Joe Biden is running out of time to secure his legacy while the transition to a second Donald Trump administration comes sharply into focus. The U.S. president-elect has been quickly nominating leaders to his cabinet and receiving calls from foreign leaders. Why It Matters sits down with the hosts of The World Next Week to talk about what the United States–and a closely watching world–should expect in the weeks and months to come as incoming President Trump takes office. Featured Guests: Robert McMahon (Managing Editor, CFR) Carla Anne Robbins (Senior Fellow, CFR) For an episode transcript and show notes, visit us at https://www.cfr.org/podcasts/why-world-next-week-matters
