Friday Focus: Contemplating Trump 2.0
Friday Focus: Contemplating Trump 2.0
This week’s Friday Focus podcast begins with a look at the growing assumption that Donald Trump is all but guaranteed to win the November presidential election, and what that means for the rest of the world – particularly when it comes to the international trading system and the global economy. And in the second half of the podcast, available exclusively to our Munk donors, Rudyard Griffiths and Janice Stein discuss the continued calls for Trump’s rival, Joe Biden, to exit the presidential race in favour of another Democrat.
