President-elect Donald Trump is alleging that other countries have been exploiting the United States, and that this exploitation will soon come to an end. Trump has raised concerns over U.S. trade deficits with Mexico and Canada. He has pointed to European nations refusing the sale of U.S. goods, while American taxpayers cover a large portion of Europe’s defense costs. And Trump is also floating the use of tariffs and pressure to even the global playing field, while also revamping American production to bring wealth back to the country. The plan is causing controversy among foreign leaders as well as some economists. We’ll discuss this topic and others, in this episode of Crossroads.

The Arab Spring may be making a return. A rebel uprising in Syria has now officially toppled the Assad regime. The country became a key focus of the uprisings in 2011 where people were overthrowing dictators in the region, but ended in Syria mainly through Russian intervention. And now, with a power vacuum taking place, as Russian and Iranian forces are pulled into their own conflicts, it appears those revolts are back. Despite this, President-elect Donald Trump is also issuing a warning to the United States to not intervene, suggesting this is not America’s conflict. We’ll discuss this topic, and others, in this episode of Crossroads.

Democrats are considering making a call for broad pardons before President Joe Biden leaves office. This follows Biden’s recent pardon of his son Hunter Biden for all possible crimes, going back more than a decade. And with the incoming Trump administration promising large-scale criminal investigations, many are now wondering whether similar pardons should be granted to others—although there are still debates over whether this could be helpful, or whether it could cause more harm than good.

Martial law was declared, and then quickly lifted, in South Korea. The declaration was allegedly clearing the way to root out North Korean subversion throughout the country. It was made by South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol on Dec. 3. The country’s parliament voted to end martial law, which was lifted not long after. But the issue still stands over whether the country has been subverted by North Korea, and what may still be done to tackle the issue.

There’s an international effort to overthrow the U.S. dollar as the world reserve currency. Doing this would break a key part of the U.S.-led world order, since it could disable America’s ability to use sanctions. This effort is mainly being pushed by the Chinese Communist Party and recently came to a head under BRICS. Yet now, President-elect Donald Trump is calling out this effort directly, and is saying any country involved in this effort will soon face 100 percent tariffs.

With the Day 1 policy of mass deportations looming with the Jan. 20, 2025, inauguration of President-elect Donald Trump, we’re now seeing a different kind of wall being built.

And this debate is raising broader questions around public support and the overall legality of sanctuary city policies.
