Trump's Return Threatens U.S.-Led Global Order, Analysts Warn

As Donald Trump resumes the presidency, discussions arise about his unique position compared to past leaders, with some analysts questioning whether the U.S. is veering towards fascism. Dr. Charisse Burden-Stelly offers insights into the implications of Trump's leadership style, highlighting both continuity and aberration in American politics. Meanwhile, Trump's imposition of tariffs on car imports raises concerns about global trade dynamics, particularly affecting countries like Mexico and Japan, and could significantly impact the UK economy.
