Trump, Biden and the Future of U.S. Multilateralism

In this episode of Ripple Effect, Michael Hanna is joined by Leslie Vinjamuri, U.S. and Americas programme director at Chatham House, and Richard Gowan, Crisis Group’s UN director, to talk about how the November elections will affect Washington’s approach to multilateralism and its engagement with the UN. They assess how Washington’s relations with the UN and its partners might change should Donald Trump return to the White House. They also discuss how Trump and Biden might differ in how they would engage with China and Russia at the UN, which countries would welcome a second Trump administration, and what the outcome of the elections could mean for the future of U.S. policy on conflicts and crises around the world.
