The Agenda

As we come to the end of the first year of Donald Trump's second Presidency, a shift is underway in the United States. Political and demographic changes across the country have seen a new generation of leaders stepping forward and a different approach to multilateralism.

But what does it all really mean for America and its relations with the rest of the world?

Joining Juliet Mann on this edition of The Agenda are Charles Kupchan, senior fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations and professor of international affairs at Georgetown University; David Andersen, Associate Professor in US Politics in the School of Government and International Affairs at Durham University; and Mark Shanahan, Political Engagement Professor at the University of Surrey.
