Big problems in a big world

Category: News & Politics
Duration: 00:18:04
Publish Date: 2026-01-15 20:50:01
Description:

Between pledging support for protesters in Iran, calling once again for the U.S. annexation of Greenland, and meeting with Venezuelan opposition leader Maria Corina Machado, it's been a busy week for President Trump on the global stage. We look at why the White House wants to be involved in so many geopolitical issues despite the president's campaign pledges to be less invested in global affairs, and what outcomes the Trump administration wants in each location.


This episode: voting correspondent Miles Parks, White House correspondent Franco Ordoñez, and national security correspondent Greg Myre.


This podcast was produced and edited by Casey Morell & Bria Suggs.


Our executive producer is Muthoni Muturi.
