Rochelle FERGUSON BOUYAHI welcomes Dafydd Townley, Teaching Fellow in US politics and International Security at the University of Portsmouth, joining us from Davos. He unpacks the deeper implications behind Donald Trump’s latest geopolitical maneuvers. From the unveiling of a so-called “Board of Peace” to his 8-year pursuit of Greenland and his scathing criticism for Europe and NATO, Mr. Townley highlights the threads connecting legacy politics, transactional diplomacy, and the growing security and economic competition in the Arctic as the ice melts in a warming world.
