conflicts around the world, the newly and old, the right and us president says he 10, what does he touches to build what he calls the strongest military will will be safest. this is inside store the hello again on chains bays in washington dc. since there's an old duration president, trump has been receiving messages of congratulations from leaders all around the world. but what's not evident to those public statements is a real sense of trepidation, not only from the us as adversaries, but also for some of his closest allies. that's because they know how president trump works, that's what concerns them. he is transactional and unpredictable. so what could we expect from from his foreign policy over the next 4 years,

we'll discuss it with our panel of guest environment. but 1st, this report from katya lopez hold of the donald trump stores the 2nd term with the us heavily invested into major foreign wars. he has repeatedly said both will ends on his thoughts. my proudest legacy will be that of a peace maker and unifier. that's what i want to be a peacemaker and a unifier. perhaps his biggest challenge will be the ceasefire and gaza between israel and him. us a deal he took credit for securing which is largely holding this as well as the tensions of the occupied west back where trump lift the sanctions against israeli settlers, despite a search and violence against palestinians. his secretary of state, marco rubio has repeatedly reaffirmed washington steadfast support for israel,

have to defend the national security and their national interest. as i pointed out in my opening statement, nearly 3 years after russia invaded ukraine, president trump has threatened russia with taxes terrace and the sanctions unless it reaches a deal to end the war soon. sylvia in the system was discovered shortly after trump was inaugurated president vladimir putin announced that moscow will strengthen ties with beijing schedule. and across here up there is concern. trump will unravel the addition and lots of ideas, you know, but what he ends up doing will depend on how the world reacts to what in the future rama tell me, how is he being, how does the ideas of investment, that sort of thing which is all well and good, however, i suspect that this administration and trump himself lack the empathy for people who are going through conflict, the occupation, and they lack because the, the paramedics skills to get into conflict resolution and then effective amount of

p j. i like perhaps to look at the wider chance of at least space and amount of but stick is the sense that is, is it is biblical, right? so i'm next by this thing. instead of 3, i don't think good bump was sent in the way. i expect him to try to legalize whatever, uh, nothing you know, or any success that office accomplish by force. i think deals with solidarity. it'd be again with solid. it'd be accepts to join the abraham accords and, and somehow as a question of governance comes up this administration coming in with the things that i agree with israel. is there any government that home us cannot be allowed to own gaza again? a while after of 15 months of this and the suction, how mazda is still there. um,

if they had somehow were able to pull off a peaceful election, how much may well, the, get the confidence of the palestinians again. so what would they do uh, in that case, p. j. um, more than 47000 people killed in garza in 15 months, but we have to also acknowledge that it has transformed the regional landscape. you have his bella, you have a mouse, you have a wrong week, and you have the sad family removed from power and siri ralph to 54 years. how should the us respond to that? and particularly with the wrong before? and the 1st, um it was the maximum pressure campaign. is that the way forward or is there an opportunity now to reopen, i know you were involved and it talks with the wrong with the original opportunity . but you actually need both sides, you know, to negotiate. and,

and the dilemma here is that on both sides, you have hard line, your critics, you have what others want to engage. so, you know, for both on the american side, under president trump, and on the iranian side, under the new iranian president, you know, which side whole sway of your will determine whether an opportunity presents itself your or not. remember, the bi demonstration tried mightily on your end, it's term to resurrect the run nuclear deal. that deal eventually collapsed in large part because a ron was not prepared to talk directly, you know, to the american side of, you know, so you know, if, if iran is willing to engage and, and, and calls, it's a really good question whether donald trump or one of his minions will pick up the phone a rama. the other place, different part of the world. yeah. where that could be some child. so piece perhaps

and present trumps that he could solve it in 24 hours. is across the war at the new address buyer. yeah, i mean he or it expired. exactly. he said he could solve that will, but it's interesting that recently he seems to be taking your tougher tone with light them. it puts in who is go on very well within the past. somebody's reason comments. if we don't make a deal and soon i have no other choice but to the high levels of texas terrace, he loves terrace and sanctions on and the thing being sold by russian to united states and various other participating countries. do you see a difference in tone from trump now compared with, from just a few weeks and you know, you know, we can, we can, we can finish these past days. um, but at the end of the day they would have to sit down and discuss about the end of these war, you know, and uh, letting me put you in is one of these, a strong man he usually likes. so what would be the outcome

of such a tough conversation with the russians president was not willing to give up any territory. and in the meantime, you have a president of lensky who is seeking present from support, you know, including financially speaking has been expecting funds to, to feed the war against russia. so um, in the middle of this, in the you opinion is in a very difficult position because of that from the table of discussions. and so now it's a face to face conversation between the rest of the present and the american president . and actually if he gives more time for the negotiations like he's doing right now, i do believe that the, his, um, may be willing to more to listen to present than in skate. what he has to say

that's, that's what, that's what is different from what he, when he announced in his company, and to be a, would you advise president trump to get directly involved, to handle the negotiations himself. because he's had meetings with president putin . i'd like to know what you think of, of those and also he trying this, did he not with north korea? i would not 1st of all advise the dollar on any level of but uh no, i mean in my opinion is that you should not get the directly involved is the trip to north korea and his chummy itself was king. john one was a very personal thing. he didn't take any korea experts with him on the trip and nothing office specific nature came out of his the floors

or seemingly telford stores with and i do not think seriously. i think it's just for show because it has been good size lot for having been put in his pocket. um, i predict that the zalinski will be abandoned and the dump will allow within to do whatever he can do and wants to do in ukraine. and the i think of trump ones, so some financial deal with boot and that will probably not hear about in public circles beach i think it was coming on that i do think that present trump will help a negotiator, a ceasefire. um, that will be the easy part. you know, then what? um, he'll probably enjoy the ceasefire crate. you know, say this is the deal with sensory and, and move on, you know,

but where he will stumble because part of what presence lensky will absolutely need . if he's going to agree to a cease fire with russian troops still on ukrainian territory is one of the security guarantees that the united states and data will provide to ukraine going forward. and, and, and their jo reality will come up against donald trump, skepticism of alliances in general, and nato in particular. and that's where i think this so has the potential fall apart, rama on on that. i mean, he was very, very tough on nato countries in that defense spending last time around that 2 percent of g d p. i don't think you quite understood the metric put them in however it all day in european capitals that that is going to become an issue again because some big countries, like italy in canada for example, that still haven't reach. that's right. yeah. yeah. yup. and countries are watching very carefully or what's going on around ukraine and the so called mix these fire.

because it's not only about ukraine is about the, the conditions of you being the security architecture. it's bigger than that. it's larger than that because um, thursday, it was not the 1st time rush. i'll talk to you, we'll be in kentwood. i to create an issue already started. this was green me a few years ago. so what, what does it mean? easy allowed to, to move forward any time he wants, that would threaten the you with an option to secure it, to actually get your that's the 1st. but the 2nd aspect is nature. of course because of the, the, the tons of logic partnership is based on these data sorted everything. um, so uh, what is, is it only a model number in that case it's not a big deal, or is it something deeper and reduce the meant? the last one on gauge meant the united states. and this is another story because you are, fans would have to face their own security to organize their own defense system.

and i'm not sure that the parents are willing to do that right now because they are not united because each of the most important you but in countries are in domestic crisis. internal sizes, you know, you k is in the pressure from is, has no government. i mean, stable government, spain say in germany is, is facing your elections. so there's no a strong inter look you up and then to look at your fort drum. so this is not the right time to make decisions like this from you have been perspective not to mention that you've been commission that is taking decision like working alone without the states, which is not very appreciated by you have been public opinions, peach a. i mean, if you dollars to be just a few weeks ago, what issues we'd be talking about at the start of a trump presidency. i'm not sure i have had on my list u. k. panamanian relations. and yet it is an old ration speech. he said,

we're taking it back. the panama canal. i mean, this is quite incredible in and and is, there is no, well, he, he may well be serious. but let's go back to 2017. it campaigned on a promise that i'll build a great wall and that school will pay for it. that policy didn't survive the 1st phone call, you know, with the president, mexico. so i can't do that. you know, so there will be a conversation between donald trump and is paying the media and counterpart. he'll say the canal as ours. we're not giving it back. and that, that i think will be the end of it. but i think this, this is what the world is preparing for, that. there's a policy that donald trump describes. and then there's a policy that donald trump and his administration actually pursues. and there's always a gap between the 2 and the bail. some coal, this the math mat in theory that you know, he gets people sketch is totally unpredictable that unsettled by him. and

perhaps it works so you can get concessions. what do you, as a professional diplomat make of a bad idea of it's a bad idea. it's scary, may want to scare opponents out there, the scares me and he scares a lot of professional diplomats. it's a very, i'm who didn't look at that location. it's my to work. uh, in some cases was some people uh, dealing with if we circled back to the middle east. i mean, i think it, 1st of all, you know, people made a mistake with him in the 2016. they didn't, they came at his word. i think he does not respect the western alliance. he wants the us to go with alone. i think he means that he doesn't think for us and he is a europe or, or anybody. and the french are already talking about trying not to depend on the us

in terms of their security. and that is a sense of going around in the middle east. certainly the middle east is too complex for this kind of an approach. and you can scale anybody in the middle east. there is a people when, when a resist occupation, even when they're beaten over the head, they repeatedly, the palestinians of software the immensely in the past 15 months, they have suffered over 75 years. and yet there is resistance. these are complex issues and just making so that's will not work. rama, i mean you, you follow what goes on in africa. you follow what goes on your own and your what did they make of sumps style and the is there any way that you think that he can achieve things? the diplomats conte because he's completely on the plastic. yeah. and uh, i mean,

he's enjoying the power of his, um, these words, you know, his lodge of victory. and that may have impressed people. um, he has um, you know, the support of the majority of the american voters and it's monitors when you, when you are in conversations with governments who cannot enjoy this kind of legitimacy. you know, of for example, in your up. so, but it won't last, you know, because the power is such a challenging experience. so you would see what happens then in the domestic front. but the rest of the world including an alpha gum. um, i mean, what i hear is if it's america 1st it, we can promote the office 1st for an exam, because we don't change very,

very quickly. you worked alongside hillary clinton, a much more conventional style of diplomacy. what do you make of the way trump does things briefly? well, you know, this is the 2nd dog for trump. and so on the one hand, he does understand more about the power of the presidency that he did in his 1st term. but the world also understands how we ox andrews prepared for this. so for example, you know, he will impose tariffs on china. the china has spent the last piece. it's last 4 years preparing for this moment and, and it will respond in kind a and, and that's going to throw to him for a loop so, so this does cut both ways. thank you very much indeed that to my guess today here in washington dc, p. chase. crowley, rama yard neville court, and that'd be according extensive coverage of the start of the 2nd trump presidency continues to now to 0 with analysis to on our website. that was, is there a dot com? is that what we'd like to hear from you get in touch on facebook, facebook dot com forward slash ha, inside story on messages on x,
