A European take on US politics | The Bottom Line

Former French Ambassador Gérard Araud sees the United States-China rivalry as the biggest diplomatic challenge ahead, and his advice for US policymakers is: Don’t force countries to pick sides. At the same time, he warns against overestimating China’s power or underestimating US power. Araud warns that Donald Trump’s victory in 2016 was not a fluke, as more people in Western societies consider their political systems “rigged”. In this wide-ranging conversation with host Steve Clemons, Araud openly questions whether the West's “war on terrorism” in the Muslim world can be won by military means. - Subscribe to our channel: http://aje.io/AJSubscribe - Follow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/AJEnglish - Find us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/aljazeera - Check our website: https://www.aljazeera.com/
