Trump’s TARIFF Shock: Chaos or Strategy? | MCC Brussels Podcast

On this week's podcast:

From tariffs to party systems, we examine the forces quietly redrawing the political map of Europe and beyond.

📉 Trump’s Tariffs – Chaos or Strategy?
The former president imposes—and then partially walks back—massive global tariffs. Markets tumble, pundits panic. But is there a method behind the volatility? Mick Hume argues it’s the end of globalisation as we knew it.

🕵️ EU Caught in NGO Funding Scandal
A damning report from the European Court of Auditors confirms what MCC Brussels has long warned: the EU is funnelling vast sums to activist NGOs with no transparency or accountability. We expose the tangled, opaque networks—and the political agenda behind them.

🇩🇪 Germany’s ‘Black-Rot’ Coalition & the Rise of AfD
A new government in Berlin promises continuity, not change. As Friedrich Merz takes power with a grand coalition that concedes to every left-wing demand, the AfD hits record polling highs. What does this mean for Germany—and Europe?

With Jacob Reynolds, MCC Brussels Research Fellow Richard Shank, and Mick Hume.
