America’s Next Chapter: What Trump’s Re-Election Means for the World

Graduate Institute What Matters Today

In this episode, we examine the global impact of last week's U.S. election results, with Donald Trump re-elected as president. To shed light on the implications for international relations, economic stability, and American influence, we are joined by Jussi Hanhimäki, Professor of International History and Politics here at the Geneva Graduate Institute. In this conversation. Professor Hanhimäki explores how this election may shape the United States' role in the world—its alliances, foreign policy direction, and influence over global markets. We discuss the challenges and opportunities the U.S. faces in a rapidly changing global landscape, as well as how American leadership affects both allies and adversaries. The goal of this episode is to provide a deeper understanding of what this new administration means for global stability, diplomatic relations, and the interconnected nature of domestic and foreign policy.
