Geopolitical Tensions and Strategic Negotiations

In the wake of the New Orleans truck attack, Fareed is joined by Harvard professor of government Graham Allison to discuss what he believes to be a growing threat of terrorism in the United States, and the domestic and international factors at play.  

Next, Fareed speaks with Kori Schake, director of foreign and defense policy studies at the American Enterprise Institute, and Richard Haass, president emeritus of the Council on Foreign Relations, about the foreign policy challenges facing incoming President Donald Trump, and the areas in which his administration might be able to make progress, from Ukraine to Iran to China. 

Then, President Jimmy Carter’s former chief speechwriter James Fallows joins the show to discuss the late president’s legacy, including his post-presidency. 

Finally, Ruchir Sharma, chairman of Rockefeller International, tells Fareed what financial trends he will be watching for in 2025.
