What a second Trump presidency means for the Middle East and Ukraine | UpFront

As the US braces for a transition of power between President Joe Biden and President-elect Donald Trump, both US geopolitical allies and adversaries wonder what direction American foreign policy will take under Trump.

With tensions in the Middle East at a boiling point and Israel continuing its genocidal campaign in Gaza, what effect will a Trump administration have on the region? And how will Trump’s handling of the war in Ukraine affect Europe and global stability?

This week in UpFront, Marc Lamont Hill talks with former US State Department official Annelle Sheline, professor of international affairs at Harvard Kennedy School Stephen Walt, and political analyst Omar Baddar about the future of American foreign policy under a second Donald Trump term.

What a week! A lot of news have been going on about a rally after the election, urging investors to watch out for stocks that would be experiencing significant growth. Any idea which stocks to put on my watchlist?

Imagine what Israel did to the Palestinians when we couldn't see their crimes on our phones.

With Elon and Trump now working with Quarden Token is going to absolutely blow up

American Foreign Policy never changes only the faces and names change

🫡 for this lady. She is so courageous. we cry everyday for Palestine.

Instead of arming Israel, Ukraine and Taiwan; US tax payer money should be spent on infrastructure, healthcare, education, homelessness etc.

Omar is the GOAT, all great guests though. Another great show ❤

[CaraGonsalves]

Quarden Token has two of the largest Tesla shareholders already; most likely something is coming

[johndole]

My greatest respect for you, Miss Sheline....

[sciencenonfiction]

I agree with what these guests said except that the reason we don’t have healthcare is lack of money. We spend more on healthcare now than we would if we had a universal healthcare system. I think the reason is legalized corruption and propaganda.

What's the status of Qatar's practice of brutal, repressive modern day slavery of migrants?

I learned a lot from this past election.
1) one can never underestimate the intelligence of the American public !
2) never place a bet on any election outcome in America.
3) don't ever take America's democracy & constitution for granted
4) always question the bias & accuracy of news reports by Americas mainstream media.
5) especially do the same with social media like facebook, twitter, truth social etc, etc...
6) never assume that brilliant engineers work within ethic guidelines & moral human values.
7) accept the fact that your political representive in goverment does not work for you, but only for his/her own benefit.
8) be aware that politic and honesty can never be used in the same sentence.
9) a public figure telling the truth would be a certain deathwish in America, especially in a Trump administration
10) truly appreciate the fortune of not living in todays America

As an American, I’m really curious about how everyone else in the world views us. My entire life has been spent being shown only pride for a country that is not always in right, nor are we usually on the same foot with our own fellow Americans. I don’t like Trump personally, how do y’all view Trump and America as a whole?

[iankaranja]

The thing is, we dont know what harris would have done in terms of israel/palestine once she became her own person .

[peteryen]

Why America put world problems on their shoulders not needed to poke nose in other countries issues.

[jermainesnyder]

Chaos, it’s already begun with his cabinet picks.

[Slolo-sh]

Well this segment was absolutely depressing

[lucapatrizzi]

The Saudis should call in their 2-billion-dollar loan with Jarrot Kushner forcing him to end the war and occupation in Gaza

[dockingtroll]

Well he could order everyone to stand down and mind his own business...

Al Jazeera, what a group during the AP feed from Israel on October 7th and demanding Israel to prove what you were airing exactly the definition of taqiyya.
