Straight from the Shoulder

Before the Handoff: What to Expect Leading Up to the Presidential Inauguration


Listen Later

In the immediate aftermath of the 2024 US elections, global leaders are recalibrating their political strategies and vying for President Trump’s good favor. But what can we expect over the course of the next two months before Trump takes office, and what’s the broader outlook for global stability?

Join Jack and Julia for a discussion about how President Trump’s second term is already resonating and impacting policy decisions on both the domestic and international fronts. On this episode, we’ll consider:

  • The new US Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) and what, if anything, government leaders can learn from business leaders
  • If “America First” implies “America Alone” and if Washington will be able to reestablish a bipartisan approach to foreign policy
  • Implications for China as a global economic powerhouse, and the possibility of ceasefire agreements in Eastern Europe and throughout the Middle East
