Day 497 - Decoding Trump’s foreign policy

Welcome to The Times of Israel's Daily Briefing, your 20-minute
audio update on what's happening in Israel, the Middle East and
the Jewish world.


Diplomatic reporter Lazar Berman joins host
Amanda Borschel-Dan for today's episode, part of
The Times of Israel's newest podcast series, Friday Focus. Each
Friday, join Berman and Borschel-Dan for a deep dive into what's
behind the news that spins the globe.


This week, Berman assesses how the current Trump administration's
foreign policy seems to be shaping up. From the US president's
bombshell February 4, 2025, proposal to transfer Gaza's
population from the Strip to reset the Israeli-Palestinian
conflict, to efforts to end the Ukraine War, Trump's gaze appears
to be as global as it is domestic.


So how does that square with his promise to "Make America Great
Again"?


Berman zooms out and in 30 minutes illustrates how the president
appears to be adopting a new motto: "Speak brashly and carry a
big stick."
