On China and Ukraine, does the G7 have the world’s support?
Video Duration 24 minutes 09 seconds
In the past, the G7 countries could make the rules, and most others would abide by them. We ask if those days are over.
Three months ago, US President Joe Biden insisted Ukraine doesn’t need F-16 fighter jets, but last week he joined the F-16 coalition in Japan.
The reason? Political risk analyst Ian Bremmer says the US and its allies are trying to put Ukraine in a stronger position for an eventual negotiated settlement with Russia, even if it means escalating the war over time.
In this episode, Steve Clemons asks Bremmer if the G7 will soon matter less than BRICS, how the US and China will share world power, and why Biden can’t go back on many Trump-era trade wars.
