Michael Froman, president of the Council on Foreign Relations and former US Trade Representative under President Barack Obama, joins this week’s Voternomics to discuss continuity and transition in American foreign policy after the US presidential election. He notes how, especially when it comes to Russia’s war on Ukraine and the future of NATO, European leaders remain concerned about the prospect of a second Trump administration.
Froman tells hosts Stephanie Flanders and Adrian Wooldridge that, when it comes to the Middle East, Donald Trump has yet to announce any particular policy that differs from that of President Joe Biden. Vice President Kamala Harris meanwhile has signaled a break from her fellow Democrat, he says, in terms of ratcheting up pressure on Israel to better protect civilian lives in Gaza, where tens of thousands have been killed in the eleven month-long war.
