Summary

Today on the show, Fareed speaks with former Danish Prime Minister Anders Fogh Rasmussen about President-elect Trump’s ambitions to purchase Greenland and what European leaders are expecting from the next four years. Then, the Financial Times’ Edward Luce joins to discuss Elon Musk’s recent entrance into British political discourse after he resurfaced a decade-old sex abuse scandal in the country. Next, US Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo sits down with Fareed for an exclusive interview to discuss the Biden administration’s signature achievements and how they might be impacted by the incoming Trump team. After that, Nobel Prize-winning journalist Maria Ressa speaks with Fareed about Meta’s recent decision to dismantle its US fact-checking program and the dangerous impact she says this will have on political discourse. Finally, what is behind America’s recent “health wave”? The Atlantic’s Derek Thompson joins the show to break down the factors contributing to this unexpected trend.
