Will Trump and his new team make the world safer or more dangerous?

It’s been a week since America voted to return Donald Trump to the White House, and there are already reports of new appointments - including Marco Rubio, Mike Waltz and Elise Stefanik. How will these people shape the way Trump deals with the world - what’s going to happen in Ukraine and the Middle East? And what will China do?

To talk about this in this episode of The American Fourcast, Matt Frei is joined by Michael Martins, who worked in Trump’s first administration as a foreign policy advisor in the US embassy in London and now runs the Overton Advisory consultancy, and Channel 4 News’ International Editor Lindsey Hilsum.

Produced by Silvia Maresca, Calum Fraser and Ka Yee Mak.

I hope we all know that it doesn't matter who is in the 'top job' because this is a systemic problem -- greed. We have allowed many of our economic sectors, to take advantage of the American people. It's disgusting and frightening for the future of our country. My husband and I will be retiring in the next two years n another country. We are absolutely worried that SS! will no longer be funded. we'll have to rely on his pension, a 403 (b) and a very prolific Investment account with Stephanie Janis Stiefel my FA. Our national debt is bloating and expanding every month. Our government needs to get spending under control and cut the federal budget.

24 minutes of shallow analysis and toxic speculation.

Channel 4 is the leader in misinformation

[utubeftw]

He was here for 4 years and the world was safer. No wars.

[GrahamJackson-js]

Safer for normal vast majority of people more dangerous for the demographics that would do us harm.

Channel 4 Reminds me of the Old Sunday Sport Newspaper 🤥🤥🤥🤣🤣🤣

I watch Channel 4 news, for entertainment purpose (politics unit) - they just don't seem to be able to understand or accept any other view point. It all began with the "so what you're saying is JP interview" and they never learnt. But ratings must be up - for all the wrong reasons!

Stop the fear mongering, we have leaders currently walking us into war, he is the only leader or politician that has even mentioned peace talks. I thought that was the entire point of politics, to maintain the peace through negotiations. Finally a politician interested in doing his job.

[CaptainGrimes]

Does anyone actually watch channel 4 news anymore?

[mohamedhussein]

😂😂 He never says anything nice about the Europeans, he tells them to pay more 😂, oh I love Trump

[RottyDad]

5:00 what people are overlooking in this criticism is the second part of the tariff plan to increase American industry and bring those products back home to avoid tariffs.

[manvfoodnation]

How is this of any use? How about a guest who actually has some insight?

[jefrreylewis]

Get a grip won't be a more dangerous place than it is now

[Behindstage]

Channel 4 news just cannot cope with this. They should be impartial.

[fatmatasesay]

President Donald Trump is a man of peace not war

[andrewmllns]

Didn’t we do this in 2016 already???
Trump is gonna push the button etc etc
This is boring now
Report some real news!

[king-fisher]

🤣 *Channel 4* spewing *lies* and spreading *ignorance* into the void.

[phyllisbennett]

All the bots seem to have been unleashed together tonight: whatever happened to our iron dome?

[edwinjoy]

This is why people are ditching MSM. Your stupid blah blahs neglected by the public.

[JosephNZUK]

I'm laughing at Channel 4's attempt to poke at Trump 🙂. Will these lefties ever learn.
