About this listen

President Trump’s decision to step back from peace efforts in the Russia-Ukraine war after a call with Russian President Vladimir Putin has rattled NATO allies and raised fears of weakening Western unity. Critics warn the move emboldens Moscow, while Trump touts future trade with Russia. Meanwhile, in Taiwan, President Lai Ching-te marked his first year by calling for dialogue with China while pledging to bolster defenses amid growing military threats and political friction at home. And the US and EU are moving forward with easing sanctions on Syria, hoping economic relief will prevent renewed civil war, despite concerns over Syria’s new leader, Ahmed al-Sharaa. Jamil Anderlini, Ken Moriyasu, Liz Sly join Ivo Daalder on World Review to analyze and offer insights on this week’s pressing global developments.
