Afghan peace talks, Trump foreign policy and Israel, Brexit's last gasp, Covid and federalism, China-Australia relations go from bad to worse
This week on GeoPod, Tenjin Consulting's Alexander Downer and Georgina Downer discuss the Afghan peace talks in Doha between the Afghan Government and the Taliban. If successful, these peace negotiations could bring an end to the near two-decade-old conflict in Afghanistan. Questions remain how the two sides can resolve their very divergent visions for Afghanistan though.
We discuss the much-overlooked Trump foreign policy successes, particularly in the Middle East and Israel. The recent agreements struck by Israel with the UAE and Bahrain are changing the geopolitics of the Middle East forever.
The UK and the EU are in the final stages of their negotiations for a post-Brexit relationship but both sides are engaging in brinkmanship. We discuss the prospects for a deal and the potential for the UK Government to break international law in order to keep the United Kingdom "united".
Covid-19 presents serious challenges for Australia's federal system. We discuss the divergence between the state and federal governments' responses to the pandemic and the growing economic crisis that awaits.
Finally, China-Australia relations are going from bad to worse. With the departure of two Australian journalists from China last week, it's hard to see how relations can improve under a Xi Jinping leadership in China. The EU-China virtual summit will be held on 14 September. Watch out for China's reaction to the EU's expected criticism of the situation in Hong Kong, human rights issues and 5G concerns.
