Trump’s midterm crisis

This episode looks at Trump’s political setbacks ahead of the midterms, US foreign policy, and Mexico’s push for greater sovereignty amid mounting domestic and international challenges.

In this interview, Felipe Bautista and Pablo Moctezuma Barragán examine whether the upcoming US midterm elections could mark the beginning of the end of Donald Trump and his political movement.

They discuss Trump’s setbacks over Iran, his confrontational foreign policy, declining popularity, tensions with Mexico and Canada, and his support for Israel.

The guests argue that Democrats and Republicans represent two sides of the same political system, while stressing the need for Mexico to strengthen its economic, energy and political sovereignty. The discussion also explores US imperialism, migration, drug trafficking, and the growing challenges facing American society.
