Jane Koston: 我认为特朗普政府的对外政策和国内政策举措都非常具有争议性。例如,他对关税的态度前后矛盾,一会儿说关税是美国繁荣的秘诀,一会儿又说关税是糟糕的谈判策略。他还建议美国接管加沙地带,这引发了广泛的批评。此外,他还计划解散美国国际开发署(USAID)以及削弱教育部的权力,这些举动都将对美国产生深远的影响。 总的来说,特朗普政府的政策缺乏一致性和连贯性,其决策过程也缺乏透明度,这使得人们很难预测其未来的行动。 Ben Rhodes: 特朗普关于巴勒斯坦人离开加沙的言论具有极大的政治爆炸性,因为这违背了巴勒斯坦人的意愿,而且缺乏可行的解决方案。他提出的让其他国家接收加沙难民的方案也行不通,因为这些国家没有足够的资源和能力。此外,加沙停火协议的未来存在不确定性,因为以色列和巴勒斯坦之间对停火协议的理解存在分歧。 关于关税问题,我认为特朗普暂停对墨西哥和加拿大征收关税的决定,可能与美国股市反应和新闻周期有关。他对关税的态度前后矛盾,既认为关税是好的,又认为关税是糟糕的谈判策略。 最后,关于美国国际开发署(USAID)的解散,我认为这将损害美国的国际声誉,并可能导致其他国家填补由此产生的权力真空。

Shownotes Transcript

We’re a little over two weeks into President Donald Trump’s second term, and already his foreign policy doctrine could be generously described as “all over the place.” From threatening to levy huge tariffs on our close allies only to delay them at the last minute to dismantling foreign aid efforts alongside the world’s richest man to now volunteering the U.S. to take control of Gaza, it’s all been a bit hard to keep up with. Ben Rhodes, former deputy national security advisor to President Obama and co-host of Crooked’s ‘Pod Save the World,’ stopped by the studio to talk about the ripple effects of Trump’s early foreign policy decisions. 

And in headlines: Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Tulsi Gabbard inched closer to Senate confirmation, The Trump administration is preparing an executive order to dismantle the Department of Education, and a D.C. Superior Court judge handed over The Proud Boys’ trademark to a Black church that had been vandalized by members of the far-right group.
