Macedonia’s Crisis Isn’t Going Away

Good evening, listeners! We have another great episode for you this week, as host Richard Aldous speaks with Josef Joffe about the Trump administration’s relationship with Europe before discussing Macedonia’s ongoing political crisis with Chris Deliso.

First up, Josef Joffe, founding member of The American Interest, editor of Die Zeit in Hamburg, and fellow of the Hoover Institution at Stanford, talks with Richard about the feeling in Europe towards President Trump, and describes the state of the Transatlantic alliance in 2017.

Then, Chris Deliso, director of the independent Balkanalysis.com website, returns to the program to describe the current political deadlock in Macedonia, and sets out some ways in which the Trump administration might change its tack towards the Balkan nation.
