About this episode

After Donald Trump's stunning comeback, Christiane Amanpour explores the global implications of Trump's second term in the White House. She speaks with former U.S. Ambassador Gordon Sondland on Trump’s likely approach to governing without constraint, favoring mass deportations and tariffs. Finland’s President Alexander Stubb joins Christiane to discuss how Europe is viewing what Trump's election will mean for NATO support and U.S. alliances around the globe, and Europe's need to take more responsibility for defense and funding. Former Biden official Rush Doshi offers insight into how China views Trump’s return amid intensifying U.S.-China rivalry, while Ukraine’s ex-Defense Minister Andriy Zagorodnyuk discusses how Kyiv views Trump’s promise to end the war in Ukraine on day one. Then, marking 35 years since the fall of the Berlin Wall, Christiane revisits her conversation with Mikhail Gorbachev from 1999, reflecting on today’s global challenges to democracy. Finally, Jan Egeland of the Norwegian Refugee Council provides an on-the-ground account of the escalating humanitarian crisis in Gaza.
