About

Over a year into his second term, President Trump has made headlines nearly every week with unpredictable and aggressive acts on the international stage ranging from regime change to tariffs to all out war.

In this panel discussion, political scientist and author of On Nationalism and Too Dumb for Democracy? David Moscrop shares the view from Canada and long-term observers of the United States Jon Sopel (A Year at the Circus and Un-Presidented) and Nick Bryant (The Forever War) examine the impact of Trump’s second term in office, one year in.

Join expert political analysts from Canada, the UK and Australia as they break down the year’s major milestones and their impact on Australia and the world, in conversation with host Amelia Lester.
