The podcast of La Trobe Asia which takes a critical look at the key issues facing Asia's states and societies.
The United States has undergone profound changes in President Donald Trump’s second term, and these are affecting the world. America appears to be rejecting the very international system it helped create, with destabilising tariffs ushering in a new era of economic nationalism that threatens to reshape the Asian security landscape.
With multiple crises demanding attention in the Middle East and an ongoing war in Ukraine, we still do not know what Trump’s Asia security policy looks like, creating uncertainty for allies and partners navigating an increasingly complex geopolitical environment.
Join La Trobe Asia for a special event as we mark the first six months of President Trump’s second term, with insights into the impact of tariffs around Asia, how alliances could shift, and the implications for both Australia and the world.
