About this episode

The reality of a second, more emboldened term for President-elect Donald Trump is sinking in. Leaders from across the globe are flooding him with congratulations and trying to get his ear on issues from the Middle East to Ukraine, to wide-ranging tariffs, and of course, the climate. All these topics that will be on the docket up at the G20 Summit in Brazil later this month, where host Brazilian President Lula will no doubt be seeing parallels between Trump's return and his own country's history with Jair Bolsonaro: a far-right politician known as "the Trump of the tropics" whose supporters stormed government buildings after he lost out on a second term. Christiane spoke with Lula about all these issues. 

Also on today's show: Olivia Troye, former adviser to Vice President Mike Pence; David Sanger, National Security Correspondent, The New York Times
