In this lecture, Dr Nathalie Tocci argued that Donald Trump’s foreign policy record has not been very successful so far, as wars continue to rage in Ukraine and in the Middle East.
The exception is Europe. Trump wants to divide and weaken Europe. And tragically, she argued, he’s not doing badly on this count.
