#USA - Trump, US decline, and global chaos - Robert D Kaplan interview | US politics | The New Statesman

8 January 2024

In this interview, renowned geopolitical analyst Robert D Kaplan argues that American power has been in decline for years, and this will likely get worse under Trump. "This time around Trump is more experienced, he's more vindictive," Kaplan says. He explores what this means for geopolitics, in particular in relation to other "great powers" China and Russia. Kaplan also explains his view that "a world where all the great powers are declining... will lead not to a fairer world, a better world, but to more chaos" Robert D Kaplan is the author most recently of Waste Land: A World in Permanent Crisis, which will be published in January. He holds the Robert Strausz-Hupé Chair in Geopolitics at the Foreign Policy Research Institute. He spoke to the New Statesman's Kate Lamble for the New Statesman podcast. 📚 READ The edge of anarchy - by Robert D. Kaplan https://www.newstatesman.com/internat...
