  • Very Partisan

    While, the Council in Foreign Relations (CFR) takes no positions on policy their host Carla Ann Robbins continuously advocates for the Democrat Party. Why is a CFR podcast continuously commenting on domestic US politics? Robbins advocates for the breaking of federal law by saying illegal aliens have a right to be in the United States.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

More Resources: The Foreign Affairs Interview
Q: What consequences do you see from inflation for Biden's ambitions?
Inflation has drastically undermined achievements like infrastructure investment and purchasing power of the child tax credit.
More Resources: The Foreign Affairs Interview
Q: What were the core things Biden was trying to accomplish with his economic policy?

More Resources: The President's Inbox
Q: How do you make sense of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's calculations in agreeing to the deal?
Netanyahu's agreement may be a strategic move to appear favorable to the new U.S. administration while potentially using Hamas's threat as leverage later. He may want to present himself as an agreeable party to the new president, but still leverage the ongoing threat of Hamas for political advantage.
Israel-Hamas Cease-Fire, Trump’s First Immigration Moves, Russia’s and Iran’s New Partnership, and More
Q: What should we expect in the coming days regarding Trump's immigration pledges?
Trump aims to fulfill his day-one immigration pledges, including a mass deportation operation, but will face significant operational and legal challenges.

Q: To what extent did they have the ability to kind of ramp back up into any kind of a dialogue?
It's currently worrisome, especially with the unraveling of arms control dialogue due to the ongoing conflict.
