Part 5/7:
Another discussion point was the claims of a potential international crisis during Trump's anticipated second term, as expressed by his ex-national security adviser. Jeremy challenged this narrative, pointing out that Trump’s first term was marked by relative peace. He then transitioned into analyzing Trump’s comments regarding controlling Greenland and the Panama Canal, interpreting them as strategic moves rather than genuine territorial ambitions.
Jeremy articulated the deeper implications behind Trump's remarks about the Panama Canal, recalling the historical transfer of control to Panama during the Carter administration. He suggested that if the canal were to be renegotiated, it could be beneficial for the U.S., especially in combatting issues like drug trafficking.
